Walmart Inc. is further preparing at least 10 Walmart Supercenters and Neighborhood Markets in Jacksonville for online pickup of groceries and possibly merchandise.
The retailer has been updating its services as it competes with Amazon.com Inc. and other competitors that offer consumer conveniences.
The city approved or is reviewing renovation work that includes pickup services at Walmart Supercenters at 8808 Beach Boulevard, 13490 Beach Boulevard, 9890 Hutchinson Park Drive, 10991 San Jose Boulevard, 7075 Collins Road and 10251 Shops Lane, our Daily Record news partner reported.
It also is reviewing work for pickup at Neighborhood Markets at 6855 Wilson Boulevard and at 1650 San Pablo Road.
In addition, the Walmart website shows two more Supercenters also are providing pickup services.
Some Supercenter renovations include overall remodeling throughout the stores.
Walmart media contacts did not respond to a Daily Record email or phone message to discuss the plans.
The Walmart website shows that grocery pickup already is available at five Supercenters, comprising 8808 Beach Boulevard and the stores at Hutchinson Park Drive and Shops Lane as well as 6830 Normandy Boulevard and 12100 Lem Turner Road.
For the pickup work, Walmart wants to renovate the space for pickup stall striping outside, grocery and merchandise storage, checkout and building signage.
Plans show that for online grocery orders, customers would pull up to the designated parking stalls after their orders are placed.
Walmart associates will be notified when the customer arrives and deliver the order to the customer at the car. Customers won’t need to leave their vehicles.
Plans show that stores that offer general merchandise pickup will arrange for that to take place inside the store.
You can read about the additional online pickup details on the Daily Record’s website.
