Walmart today announces the completion of a remodel of its location in Martinez, Georgia. Located at 3851 Evans to Locks Rd., the 34,078-square-foot Neighborhood Market underwent a 14-week transformation that added significant updates and improvements. Walmart plans to hold a re-grand opening ceremony on Friday, Oct. 24, at 10 a.m. to celebrate the launch of the remodeled store.

This refresh will bring a variety of upgrades to Store #5813, all designed to provide customers with a better overall shopping experience. Highlights include brand-new concrete floors and a revamped pharmacy with a wellness room, which includes a space for medical testing and treatments. Wellness rooms are being introduced in Walmart stores across the country, offering customers privacy during vaccinations and health consultations, plus a secluded area for nursing mothers. 

“Given the critical role we serve in this community, we’re thrilled to offer upgrades to our store, as they will provide added benefits for both our customers and employees,” said Letha Gibbs, store manager at the Martinez Walmart Neighborhood Market. “In particular, providing privacy for our pharmacy customers is one of our top priorities, so having a new wellness room is a significant development.”

The most notable aesthetic changes included updating the paint from green to the signature Walmart blue, plus a digital media board in the deli. Additional improvements include an expanded digital space, which also moved from the back of the store toward the front, giving customers easier access to online pickups. New grocery items have also been added, such as new bakery selections and vegetarian options in the meat and frozen department. 

Other stores undergoing remodels in the Augusta area include locations at 3338 Wrightsboro Rd., 300 S. Belair Rd., 1041 Edgefield Rd. and 1201 Knox Ave in North Augusta. This year, Walmart has set a goal to remodel more than 650 stores across the U.S., including 20 in Georgia. Prior to  2025, Walmart invested more than $1.1 billion to upgrade stores throughout Georgia over the past five years. With 209 retail units and 13 supply chain facilities, Walmart employs over 65,000 associates in the Peach State.
