The Gretna Walmart is a lot easier to navigate.
A remodel added improved signage throughout the store, transformed several departments and made adjustments for COVID-19 safety. The store also added a dollar shop area and grab-and-go lunch selections.
In addition, the three-month remodel expanded online grocery pickup and added self-checkout lanes at the Walmart Supercenter at 11350 Wickersham Blvd.
The store hosted a ceremonial reopening ceremony Friday morning with the Gretna Area Chamber of Commerce and other dignitaries represented.
Doug Ortlieb, board president for the Gretna Area Chamber of Commerce, thanked Walmart for the jobs its created in the local community. He also highlighted Walmart's giving during the pandemic and in response to natural disasters.
"We also know that Walmart constantly is offering their everyday low prices on products and merchandise. In today's society and economy, it is well, well needed, thank you," he said.
