Walmart across from Colony closing this summer?

[lstevenson1470]

Someone told us that the Walmart on Heald Way on 466A is closing this summer. It was confirmed by a Walmart employee. Anyone else know anything? Are they opening a Walmart Superstore nearby?

Remodeling is the rumor

[EdFNJ]

Remodeling is the rumor It's only been opened like around 3 years. Strange.

[Stu from NYC]

It is rather small would hope it could expand into a super Walmart

[Bill14564]

From a 2/26/22 article in the online paper
... “special project rebrand ” ... Work is expected to begin in June and be completed by August.

[EdFNJ]

It is rather small would hope it could expand into a super Walmart Kinda doubt they could fit a "super" Walmart on that property + all the parking it would need. This tiny place often has a full lot.

[jaj523]

If it's closing for remodeling, that means it will open again. I sure hope so. I do a great deal of my grocery shopping there.

[Two Bills]

We do nearly all our food shopping there. Best store in town!

We’ve been using this Walmart for 5 years. It’s not the closest store to home but they really have their act together. I’m sure whatever they are doing with be worthwhile.

I never shop there. Very limited and way too busy.

[NotGolfer]

It's going to be remodeled! It was extremely busy during the "high season" here---try to find a parking spot was impossible. We go there because it's close by but it's not attractive when it's slammed like that. Wouldn't it be great if they build another one south of 44???

[New Englander]

I don't think there's any room to expand it. Maybe redesign the interior. Like others have said, sometimes it's difficult to find a parking spot.

[LuckyS]

Was just told by the pharmacy that they aren't going anywhere and not closing for renovation.

[jimdecastro]

The Spanish Springs movie theater is being remodeled… :-)

Thank you :coolsmiley:

[Rwirish]

They are not closing, will remain open while remodeling.

[ithos]

In Fort Worth, the store stayed open.

The Neighborhood Walmart will remain open throughout the renovations, which are expected to be completed in mid-August.

Neighborhood Walmart takes on 10-week renovation project in Flower Mound | Community Impact (https://communityimpact.com/dallas-fort-worth/lewisville-flower-mound-highland-village/impacts/2021/06/02/neighborhood-walmart-takes-on-10-week-renovation-project-in-flower-mound/)

There is also an article in the alt news site.

Many more to be affected.

Here are the Orlando, Tampa area Walmart stores getting remodeled (https://www.mynews13.com/fl/orlando/news/2018/04/13/walmart-to-spend--200-million-remodeling--opening-new-stores-in-orlando--tampa)

Nobody shops there anymore, it is too crowded.

Upgrades at another Neighborhood store:

A spokesperson for Walmart said the renovations include updating the deli department and the online grocery pickup area, adding electric delivery van chargers to the parking lot, installing a new refrigeration system on the sales floor, adding a fresh food cooler in the pet department, remodeling the restrooms, updating the store’s sound system and more.

[waterflower]

walmart will be closing many stores. Mcdonalds is closing many also. Do your research what these mega corporations do.

Save us some time and post links to the research you did.

[bowlingal]

remodeling and a second story to be added is what I heard

[wamley]

A two month Reno is a short time period likely reorganizing the refrigerator cases, shelving for better merchandising in some Debts and likely add a Dept that is not represented. Shutting down you can accomplish a lot more than trying to work around an open supermarket. Did many supermarket Renos in open supermarkets up in NY and scheduling is very difficult, particularly keeping it safe and sanitary.

[justjim]

Shutting down for two months and not shutting down while remodeling so posts say. Confusing information but not surprising. It is what it is…

[wlasowicz]

It seem everyone has a option what's going to happen. Time will tell what will happen and for the most part we don't have control whether Walmart closes or remodels

I’m glad they are upgrading the deli , because what we need in the villages is more OPTIONS for PROCESSED MEAT

they id themselves as a neighborhood market.
In any case great to have store open to 11pm nearby

Closing the Walmart and building a Costco there.

I think you are wrong, …

[RUCdaze]

People don't want to go there anymore because it's too crowded.

It's a Walmart food mart. Somebody told me that.:ohdear:

Actually a neighborhood walmart. We do prefer the extra choices at a Super Walmart

[JoMar]

Nobody shops there anymore, it is too crowded. Yogi Lives :)

[Ann Sim]

I spoke to Manager..They R planning on renovating, new cash registers, changing many cosmetic things ! Said they wouldn’t be closing during renovation..As this place is a Gold mine ..Quote!!

[dnobles]

They are remodeling, but not closing.

[justjim]

Been waiting for Yogi’s take on this Thread. :bigbow: That said, there will be a bit of inconvenience while they remodel for a few months but that will pass and all will be okay and perhaps better again. We do a lot of shopping there because it’s close and convenient. Summer is an excellent time for this because many in TV take their vacations during this timeframe.

Inside information is available to me and I know beyond any doubt that they WILL NOT BE CLOSING DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS!

Harkens me back to the great Sam Kinison stand up “ MOVE TO WHERE THE FOOD IS”. Move to where the Costco is!

[Nucky]

It's the best store they have for online food shopping. Every order is perfect. It's about 6 miles one way for us but well worth it.

There is a Walmart Superstore south of 44 - in Bushnell at 301 and 75.

Don't panic, Publix is right across the street. Lots of parking, nice staff and Boar's Head meats.

That kind of comment is irresponsible. Please provide a link or links to where you got that information. Because right now it loos like MISinformation.

[retiredguy123]

The OP's question was:

Q: Walmart across from Colony closing this summer?

A: According to Maureen at the Walmart store (No. 4565), the store will not be closing or changing their hours of operation. The store will be remodeled this summer, but the remodel work will be performed at night after hours.

[jdulej]

You couldn't drag me into a Walmart. They are more responsible for the destruction of small business in America than any Dem or Repub ever was.
Never been in one, never will.

Large stores like Walmart and Amazon have greatly improved price and availability of products. I can remember when the one person pharmacist was only open Monday through Friday from 9 to 5. I buy almost everything I can from Amazon rather than drive to a store. It's usually cheaper and it comes the next day.

This is good content! LMAO

I never have understood why people like deli meat. It’s ground up product, loaded with salt that is pressed into a ball which they slice for you and they say it’s fresh.
