According to MLive's coverage of the announcement, the remodels are part of Walmart's ongoing efforts to modernize its statewide presence and support economic growth in Michigan communities.

Glenda Fleming Willis, Walmart Senior Vice President for the North Business Unit, said the upgrades combine innovative technology, improved layouts, and expanded services to deliver a better experience for everyone who walks through the doors or shops online.
