LEBANON, OH -- On Friday, Walmart customers in Lebanon (and last week, customers in Franklin) were welcomed inside the newly transformed Supercenter. Creating omni-shopping experiences that save customers time and money, Walmart continues its transformational journey to become America’s favorite place to shop whether in-store, online or via the mobile app.
Walmart associates in Lebanon marked the occasion on Friday with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, community celebration, and the unveiling of a community-inspired mural. The event was attended by representatives from various local organizations, including the Lebanon Police Department and Lebanon City Vice Mayor Scott Norris.
“At Walmart, enhancing our customers' overall shopping experience is always a top priority,” said Cassie McAlister, Walmart store manager. “We’re thrilled to unveil to our customers a variety of new features and improvements all across the store. A big thank you to our dedicated associates and our store leadership teams for their exceptional efforts throughout the renovation.”
During this morning’s celebration, store leaders and associates highlighted the transformation as well as the new interactive features available to customers, including:
In addition, Walmart customers in Lebanon and Franklin now have access to a wider assortment of products. Through online pickup, delivery, express delivery and Walmart Pay, customers can now get the items they want when they want them – resulting in a better overall shopping experience.
To further illustrate Walmart’s commitment to helping others live better in the communities it serves, the store manager and several associates presented $5000 in grants to local nonprofit organizations, including:
The Lebanon ceremony concluded with the exciting unveiling of the store's new mural. The piece is an eye-catching installation that depicts local traditions and history unique to the Lebanon community, such as the Golden Lamb Restaurant & Hotel and Lm&M Railroad.
This mural is part of Walmart's Community Mural Program, one of the largest public-facing art installation celebrating communities across America. Walmart's Community Mural Program is an important part of each store transformation and furthers Walmart's commitment to the local community.
