WAL-MART SUPERCENTER REMODEL
Media Contact: Donnie Crowell (501) 268-2207


On April 18th, 2008 the Searcy Wal-Mart Supercenter celebrated the completion of a storewide remodeling project. We would like to thank our loyal customers for their patience during this process.

The three month renovation project entailed the placement of new floor tiles and ceiling fixtures, the renovation and modernization of bathrooms and a new earth-toned brown and beige color scheme. Inside customers will find updated signage, wider aisles and expanded departments and services.

Departments such as apparel and accessories now have faux hardwood floors, to better distinguish them from the parts of the store. The dressing rooms have been given a substantial makeover, and the shoe area has more seating and mirrors. In the pharmacy, Wal-Mart has lowered counters and removed walls so people can see and interact with the pharmacist. The electronics department also has been spiffed up, and now boasts a wall of higher-end televisions.

"These changes have been made with our customers in mind and we hope they will find the newly renovated Wal-Mart a very pleasant place to shop," said Donnie Crowell, Store Manager.

The remodel is part of Wal-Mart's ambitious plan to modernize and upgrade a whopping 1,800 stores over an 18-month period.

"I would like to recognize Wal-Mart for the important role it plays in the lives of our community and the positive affect they have on our local economy. Wal-Mart strives to serve this community by being a valuable community resource. In addition to being one of the largest contributors of our employed population, Wal-Mart employees and corporate leaders give much time and effort on a volunteer and financial basis on behalf of our citizens to various non-profit, educational and government organizations. Their commitment to their shoppers is reflected in the remodel of the Wal-Mart store that allows our citizens to enjoy quality goods and diversity of merchandise in an updated and extremely attractive setting. I would like to urge all our citizens to voice their appreciation for their work and for their enhanced shopping experience. Thank you, Wal-Mart, for your continued support of Searcy and White County ," stated Searcy Mayor Belinda LaForce.

"We are proud and thankful to have Wal-Mart in our community! The remodeled Superstore is very attractive and will be enjoyed by customers from the region for years to come. We want to recognize and thank Wal-Mart and its employees for the tremendous economic impact they have on our community, being good corporate citizens and for allowing their employees to serve and volunteer on boards such as the United Way and the Chamber of Commerce" said Buck Layne, President of the Searcy Regional Chamber of Commerce.

Wal-Mart Supercenters were developed in 1988 to meet the growing demand for convenient, one-stop family shopping featuring their famous Every Day Low Prices. The remodeled store was built in 1994 and currently employs approximately 530 associates.
