Walmart Plans $68 Million in NJ Store Construction and Improvements

TRENTON, NJ—Walmart says it expects to spend an estimated $68 million in New Jersey during the next year through the opening, expansion and remodeling of 12 stores, and the rollout of several in-store and online innovations.

The spend is part of Walmart’s total capital expenditures guidance of approximately $11 billion for fiscal year 2019, which the company unveiled last October at its annual investment community meeting.

“At Walmart, we’re always seeking opportunities to improve, in every facet of what we do,” says Glen Spencer, a Walmart regional manager in New Jersey. “This multimillion dollar commitment to our stores and technology will provide customers with a significantly enhanced shopping experience, whether they’re in one of our stores, or making a purchase online.”
