Walmart set to open 5 stores and 1 new Sam's Club: Here's where
The big box giant's CEO John Funer said in a January 2024 press release it plans to build or convert more than 150 stores.
Furner said in the same press release that Walmart plans to renovate more than 650 locations across 47 states.
In April, the company said in a press release that it will renovate all 600 Sam's Club locations, open 30 new clubs as originally announced in 2023 and build "a pipeline to open approximately 15 new clubs each year."
"We are not limited by our physicality — we are enabled by it," Sam's Club President and CEO Chris Nicholas said during the company's 2025 Investment Community Meeting. "Our omnichannel model creates more opportunities to engage with members where they are, and how they want to shop."
Here's where Walmart and Sam's Club are opening new locations.
A Walmart spokesperson told USA TODAY that the company is set to open 10 locations by the end of the year.
The spokesperson confirmed that the following locations are set to open by the end of September:
Walmart Neighborhood Market – 8600 Hwy 69, Tuscaloosa, Alabama – Mid-June
Walmart Supercenter Conversion – 600 Showers Dr., Mountain View, California – July
Walmart Supercenter – 9399 North Spring Run Parkway, Eagle Mountain, Utah – August
Walmart Neighborhood Market – 6275 US-90, Milton, Florida – August
Walmart Neighborhood Market – 4239 Berryhill Road, Pace, Florida – September
The company also confirmed that a Sam's Club location in Tempe, Arizona is set to open in early August.

Bread sold at Kroger and Walmart in a dozen states is under recall for ‘life-threatening' problem
An Artisan-style breed sold in 12 states at popular retailers, such as Kroger and Walmart, has been recalled due to potential hazelnut contamination, the FDA says. Hartford Bakery Inc. recalled its Lewis Bake Shop Artisan Style half-loaf bread after an internal packaging error resulted in visible hazelnuts, an undeclared allergen, in some loaves. About 883 units from six production lots were mistakenly wrapped and labeled merely as 'May Contain Tree Nuts,' without specifying hazelnuts. The contamination stems from a packaging changeover from a hazelnut-containing bread batch to the white loaf variant, the company said. The recalled bread was distributed across 12 states, including Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Arkansas, Missouri, Alabama and Mississippi. The company, headquartered in West Hartford, Connecticut, issued a recall for its 'Lewis Bake Shop Artisan Style 1/2 Loaf' on July 10, according to the FDA. The company warns that "people with a nut allergy or severe sensitivity to hazelnuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions" if they consume the bread. The bread is packaged in a flexible plastic bag and can be identified by lot codes T10 174010206, T10 174010306, T10 174010406, T10 174020206, T10 174020306 and T10 174020406, which appear on the front panel. The packaging also includes a net weight of 12 oz, a UPC of 24126018152 on the bottom and an expiration date of 07/13/2025 displayed on the front panel. Hartford Bakery said it had removed all products linked to the six affected production lots. The bakery had received complaints about visible nuts and reports one case of digestive discomfort, but no serious injuries or illnesses have been reported. Consumers who have purchased the affected product are being urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Solve the daily Crossword

Want to Start Gardening? These Wirecutter-Approved Tools Will Help You Feel Like a Pro.
This rake is sturdy, well balanced, favored by professional landscapers, and good for years of use. It's well built, though it might be a little heavier than rakes made with bamboo. Fall leaf cleanup is prime time for a fan rake, but it's useful year-round for everything from cleaning up lawn clippings to gathering cuttings from overgrown hedges. We like the Ames Jackson Hardwood/Steel Handle Steel Leaf Rake because it's surprisingly sturdy for the price, and the steel tines have enough give to easily comb through thick grass while still snagging loads of yard waste. If your yard has a lot of tree cover, you'll probably break down and buy a leaf blower at some point. Even then, you'll still find ways to use your old rake. You might also want a bow rake. This type of rake has shorter, stiffer tines than a fan rake, which makes it excellent at smoothing out a bed full of mulch. For finer material, like finished compost or soil, you can flip it around and use the backside for the same task. Somehow, we don't have a bow rake recommendation at Wirecutter, but we have a few avid gardeners and homesteaders on staff who say that they've never noticed much difference between any of the bow rakes they've used, apart from the benefits of a lightweight, durable fiberglass handle. This self-propelled lawn mower has a battery that runs for an hour, and it easily mows down overgrown grass. It also spares you the noise, emissions, and maintenance of a typical gas mower. $620 from Walmart May be out of stock This category almost seems too obvious to include, but if you have grass, you need a way to cut it, and the best tool for most lawns is a battery-powered lawn mower. A good cordless mower is much better than any gas option: It doesn't need fuel, it doesn't emit exhaust, and it requires minimal maintenance. In our tests, we found that the Ego LM2156SP Power+ 21″ Select Cut XP Mower was great in just about every way: steering, charging, run time, and mowing power. You might want to choose a different format if you have a very small or very large lawn, but most people should start their search here. Mowers can't reach everywhere in your yard, and that's where a string trimmer comes in. It's the quickest way to clean up overgrown grass along fences and around posts or knock down an overgrown but otherwise unmowable area. And most string trimmers let you reuse the same battery and handle with a load of other powered yard tools, such as hedge trimmers, pole saws, tillers, and more, so you'll get a lot of mileage out of the initial purchase. The Ego ST1511T Power+ 15″ Powerload String Trimmer was among the strongest and quietest string trimmers that we tested, and Ego's battery platform (which also works with our mower pick) is truly excellent. This article was edited by Megan Beauchamp and Maxine Builder. Spend more time enjoying your yard and less time working on it with these Wirecutter-expert–approved tools and gadgets. I love gardening. I hate weeding. Thankfully, I have my trusty hoe by my side. It's sensible, mostly polite, and the most powerful cordless leaf blower Wirecutter recommends.

Walmart Stock (WMT) is a Buying Opportunity as ‘Big Move Up' Awaits
Shares in U.S. retail giant Walmart (WMT) were lower today despite one media personality declaring that it was a buying opportunity.

Make smarter investment decisions with TipRanks' Smart Investor Picks, delivered to your inbox every week. Ideal Buy Jim Cramer, the host of Mad Money on CNBC, didn't exactly wow his audience by declaring that Walmart was the number one brick-and-mortar retailer, but what he said next will have pricked up some ears. This is what Cramer said: 'This is a slow time for Walmart stock, but Lang (Bob Lang, founder of and the author of Know Your Options) says that makes it the ideal time to buy the stock. The price action here has been sideways, with the stock stuck in the range of $93 to $100 for the last few months. Lang thinks that Walmart's simply digesting its big move up from the April lows. That makes some sense to me. It was a gigantic gain. He'd be a buyer on weakness.' Let's look at the Walmart stock price chart for the last few months. We can see that since the start of the year, the stock is up just 5%. Over the last three months it is up around 4%. Tech and Tools It's been a challenging period for the stock and other consumer-facing peers. That's down to price rises as a result, arguably, of President Trump's tariff policies as well as having to handle a drop in consumer sentiment. It is also facing increased competition from the more premium end of the grocery and food market as, despite the challenges, shoppers look for more premium alternatives such as Amazon's (AMZN) Whole Foods. Walmart has also been making moves to attract more rural shoppers as well as increasing its technological capabilities. This includes the use of drones and AI tools for shoppers. The forecasts for the business look positive, but investors need to be wary of those macro economic challenges and the continued uncertainty around tariffs. Is WMT a Good Stock to Buy Now? On TipRanks, WMT has a Strong Buy consensus based on 28 Buy ratings. Its highest price target is $120. WMT stock's consensus price target is $111.33, implying a 17.44% upside.
