As I said during the radio broadcast, it wasn't a re-grand opening, because all during the remodel, our Arkansas-side Walmart #468 stayed open. We, as customers, and even they, as associates, are still going through the growing pains. But we're all learning together the new layout.

You rarely see a high school marching band, cheerleaders, and drill team at a retail store ribbon-cutting. However, that's exactly what happened last Thursday, October 4, 2024, when Walmart #468 located in Texarkana, Arkansas celebrated the end of the remodel.

You do remember the remodel, don't you? We have all been stepping around it for months, four'ish months to be more precise. The employees are still learning where everything has been relocated, just like we are.

Did anyone mention how shiny those new floors are? Honestly, it was the first thing I noticed. We don't normally chat much about a retail store celebrating a remodel, but can we be honest here? Walmart is a huge part of the community, a very large employer here in Texarkana, and the company as a whole means a great deal to the State of Arkansas. So, credit where it's due.

Anyway, congratulations to everyone at the Walmart Supercenter #468 in Texarkana. The store looks great!
