(Aurora, Ind.) – Attention shoppers. The Walmart supercenter in Aurora is going to get some more upgrades.
The mega-retailer announced Wednesday its plans to invest $24 million over the coming year into remodeling seven Indiana stores, including the store in Aurora. The other locations include Linton, South Lafayette, Greencastle, Kokomo, Seymour, and Brownsburg.
The renovation projects will include the additions of several in-store and online features designed to streamline or add convenience to the shopping experience.
"Walmart has a tremendous impact in Indiana communities, employing more than 40,000 associates in Indiana locations and donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to Hoosier charities," said Rodney Walker, regional general manager for Walmart. "In the next year, Walmart will continue to innovate and improve the shopping experience for Hoosier shoppers, through remodeled stores and bringing game-changing technology."
The Aurora location has already added drive-thru grocery pick-up service, a tower for picking up online orders in-store, and several self-checkout lanes in recent months. The Pickup Tower at Aurora is one of just three in the state.
Walmart’s Indiana investment is part of a companywide $11 billion in total capital expenditures planned over the next year.
