Walmart is set to reopen its store in Chesapeake, Va., which was the site of a mass shooting in November 2022.
Walmart has revamped the store, which will open on April 13, with a “store-of-the-future” design that includes an outdoor memorial space to honor the victims of the 2022 tragedy and “provide a place of comfort for the survivors,” the company said. Flanked by local foliage, the space will feature six seating structures in honor of the six Walmart employees who lost their lives in the shooting.
The store’s remodel and transformation is designed to created an exceptional experience for customers and includes expanded shopping options, engaging displays, interactive features and an overall fresh look. This new “store-of-the-future” is part of Walmart’s signature experiences and includes the most innovative and customer-friendly design elements.
