White Marsh residents will soon get a first look at the newly remodeled Walmart Supercenter at 8118 Perry Hills Court as the much-anticipated project is now complete. The remodel includes several department transformations and the expansion of innovations that will help customers save time. The upgrades also complement the measures the company has taken to help protect associates and customers from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

“We welcome regular customers and those that haven’t been in our stores in a while to visit their refreshed Walmart Supercenter,” said Doug Jordan, White Marsh store manager. “The company has invested in several upgrade initiatives, and my team and I have been working hard to implement them. This time approaching the holidays is the perfect time to enjoy the many conveniences of your new shopping experience.”

Store Improvements and Customer-Focused Innovations

• Customers will enjoy the following store improvements:
• New signage, making the store easier to navigate quickly
• Modernized fixtures, shelving and dressing rooms to give the store a bright, updated feel
• Brand new restrooms, with the old tile look replaced by the contemporary style of concrete flooring

Walmart will continue to innovate to help customers save time and money by giving them the option to shop when, where, and how they want, including:

• Pickup - Busy customers love Walmart’s pickup option. It gives them the convenience of shopping online and the ease of quickly picking up groceries without having to leave their cars. The best part: there is no fee to use Walmart Grocery Pickup. Customers shopping using SNAP also have the option to use pickup services in most states.
• Delivery -Walmart’s convenient delivery service is also proving to be a hit with customers. Even more, Walmart has now made both pickup and delivery contact free.
• Express delivery - customers now have the option to have their deliveries made in under two hours.
• Walmart Pay - a touch-free way to pay.
• Walmart+ - Walmart recently rolled out Walmart+, its new membership program, to 4,700 stores including the White Marsh Walmart. Walmart+ offers customers unlimited free delivery on everything from groceries to tech, fuels discounts at nearly 2,000 Walmart, Murphy USA and Murphy Express fuel stations, and access to Walmart’s quick and convenient Scan &Go technology which allows customers to scan their items as they shop in-store and pay using the Walmart app for a touch-free payment experience.

Walmart+ costs $98 a year or $12.95 a month and includes a 15-day free trial period.

Meeting the Challenges of COVID-19

As an essential business, and a member of the White Marsh community, we understand the role we play in providing our customers with food, medicine and other essential items during this unique time.

Along with the upgrades to the store, we will continue to help protect our associates and customers from the impact of COVID-19 through the extensive measures we put in place earlier this year at this store, and those around the country, including:

• Enacting deep-cleaning and sanitizing protocols with guidance from the CDC, which includes a thorough cleaning of key areas of the store (Front entrance, carts, registers, and bathrooms etc.).
• Conducting health screenings and temperature checks on our associates prior to them beginning their shifts.
• Requiring all associates to wear Walmart-issued or otherwise approved masks at all times.
• Adding sneeze guards to our checkout lanes and pharmacy areas.
• Installing floor decals at the entrances and in checkout lanes to support social distancing.
• Enacting an emergency leave policy for associates who are unable or uncomfortable coming to work.
• Continuing to stress our requirement that those customers who can wear protective facial coverings while inside the building do so.
• If you are age 60 and up, self-quarantining, high-risk, or have tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19), many stores are offering Pharmacy pickup & delivery services to help you get the medication you need. (Note: Not all options may be available at all stores.)

- Drive-Thru: More than 1300 Walmart stores have pharmacy drive-thru service across the country.

- No-Contact Curbside Pickup: We can bring your prescription right out to your car using a no-contact method.

- Mail Delivery: If you can’t make it to a local store, we'll deliver medication to your door.

Additional measures are in place as needed to comply with state and local ordinances. More details can be found at: https://corporate.walmart.com/here-for-you
