This makeover might catch you off-guard.
reported on Feb. 16. A viral TikTok video that has gained more than 18 million views showed athat had been set up in the Springdale, Arkansas, Walmart Supercenter, which serves as one of the company's test center stores.
In the video, shoppers can see a number of differences in the Springdale store compared to a traditional Walmart location. The user shows a large Reebok activewear section that features TV displays showing videos of athletes working out in the brand's clothing, as well as expanded nursery and home displays within the store. The video also reveals a new digital display on freezer doors showing what products are inside and an elevated pet care section.
According to Washington, there are four guiding principles for the redesign: activated corners, elevated brand shops, more space to discover, and digital touchpoint. These principles will be upheld by Walmart making major changes like showcasing interactive displays at the corners of certain departments and using strategic QR codes and digital screens that will allow shoppers to learn more about the products they are looking to buy and what Walmart is offering.
