Is your Walmart getting an upgrade in 2025? See list of stores in Miami area

Walmart is on a remodeling kick.

The Arkansas-based retailer plans to freshen about 650 of its more than 4,600 stores nationwide. Florida should see 34 of those refurbished stores by the end of 2025, including eight in Miami-Dade and Broward counties.

The store on Southwest Eighth Street in Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood was completed in April. The Homestead store redo should be ready by the end of the summer.

The stores don’t close during the remodeling. The upgrades encompass about a tenth of Walmart’s footprint in Florida.

There are 387 stores in the state. Sam’s Club accounts for 46 of those stores with 232 considered Walmart Supercenters, according to the company’s 2025 figures. Only Texas, with 509 total stores, has more Walmarts than Florida, which edges California’s 273.

The upgrades include more attention-grabbing signs and displays to better showcase merchandise. Also in the works: expanded departments, and wider aisles in the pharmacy with new private screening rooms and checkout areas.

Because not everyone shops inside the stores, Walmart also is expanding its online pickup and delivery areas at the refurbished locations.

Also, Walmart is opening two new stores in the summer in the Pensacola area of Florida, in Milton and Pace.

“Our stores often serve as the heartbeat of the communities we operate in, and these remodels are a testament to our dedication to enhancing that role,” said Nick Berkeley, Walmart senior vice president for the Southeast Business Unit, in a statement.
