Walmart debuts 'store of the future' in Texas; to open seven new stores

Walmart’s newest supercenter features numerous leading-edge design elements.

The discounter has opened a supercenter location in Cypress, Texas, which is both its first ground-up supercenter in four years and the first new-construction "store of the future" in the U.S.

In addition, in 2025 Walmart plans to open new supercenters in Frisco and Melissa, Texas; Eagle Mountain, Utah; and Eastvale, Calif. Neighborhood markets will debut in Tuscaloosa, Ala.; Milton, Fla.; and Pace, Fla., while stores in Mountain View, Calif.; and East Windsor, N.J., will be converted into full supercenters.
