As part of a larger $145 million plans, some of which include changes for online sales to become more competitive with online giant, Amazon.

Improvements will include wider aisles, larger produce sections, and upgrades to their electronic department. Other store remodels include stores in Duarte, Chino, Panorama City, Huntington Beach, Orange, Laguna Niguel, and Rancho Santa Margarita.

Part of the multi-million dollar plans include a new Walmart Supercenter in Fresno and expanded online purchasing for shoppers who prefer the out-of-store shopping experience. These include adding 50 Grocery pickup locations in addition to the current 44 locations. Mobile Express Scan & Go has been tested in100 stores across the United States and will be adding additional stores.This service allows customers to use their mobile devices to scan and bag their purchases as they shop. Once the shopping is complete, shoppers can pay using their phones without waiting in a line.

The final change will include additional Pickup Towers, which are currently installed in 200 U.S. stores. An additional 500 locations are planned, with the first California tower being the store located at 3943 Grand Ave. in the City of Chino. These towers work in conjunctions with the pickup service, allowing customers to order from home and pick up at a vending-type machine using a barcode that is sent to their smartphone, saving time for pickup customers.
