Walmart announced the grand opening of its newest Supercenter in Cypress, Texas — the company’s first ground-up Supercenter in four years and the first new-construction “Store of the Future” in the U.S. This milestone marks an exciting step forward in Walmart’s plan to build or convert more than 150 stores over the next several years as part of its long-term commitment to modernizing retail, expanding access to essential services and strengthening communities nationwide.
Designed to make shopping faster, easier and more connected, the Cypress Supercenter features reimagined layouts, expanded services and innovative technology — all aimed at helping customers shop how, when and where they want. The store will create hundreds of local jobs, showcase local Texas-based suppliers and serve as a community hub, reflecting Walmart’s broader investment in growth, opportunity and service for millions of Americans.
“This isn’t just a ribbon cutting. It’s a commitment to the future, an investment in a community and new job opportunities,” said John Furner, President and CEO of Walmart U.S. “I’m proud of our associates in Cypress who brought this to reality.”
