Walmart plans to modernize one of its stores near Bethlehem with a remodeling to begin soon.

Construction will begin this month to remodel the Walmart at 3926 Linden St. in Bethlehem Township, spokesperson Mariel Messier said, and finish in the summer. The store will remain open throughout construction.

It is one of 32 Pennsylvania locations that Walmart will remodel this year, according to a news release Messier provided, “as part of ongoing efforts to modernize the in-store and digital shopping experience - upgrading layouts, technology, and services to offer faster, more convenient shopping and delivery in as little as an hour for most customers.”

“Across Pennsylvania, Walmart's new and remodeled stores bring that vision to life through expanded services - like free Pharmacy delivery for Walmart+ members, including on GLP-1s - and a store-based app experience that helps customers easily navigate through stores, book services at Walmart's Auto Care Center, and more,” the release said. “The result is a more intuitive, convenient experience that helps customers shop how they want, when they want.”

The release added that “every new store or remodel brings real benefits to the community - from construction jobs to long-term careers in retail, pharmacy and store leadership. Customers will notice the difference, too, with elevated brands like De'Longhi, Oura, Jessica Simpson, and Lemme, and interactive displays that make it easier to picture how products look in their homes. The transformed stores also feature updated pharmacies offering affordable medications, vaccines and other clinical services, with support from trusted pharmacists, and Vision Centers designed for greater privacy and convenience, offering brands like Nike, Calvin Klein, and DKNY, along with services like free cleanings and adjustments.”

The chain has invested over $518 million over the past five years to upgrade its stores in Pennsylvania, the release said. Last year, it remodeled its Lower Macungie Township store, adding new displays, new signage, digital screen set-ups for viewing store products, a reconfigured store layout and a mural by Allentown artist Emily Schnall.
