This week Walmart announced the grand opening of its newest Supercenter in Cypress, TX — the company’s first ground-up Supercenter in four years and the first new-construction “Store of the Future” in the U.S. The company said 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.”

Along with a refreshed look and feel, the Cypress Supercenter offers a broader assortment across key categories and new ways to shop and save — all while staying true to the retailer’s Every Day Low Prices promise. Customers will see QR codes throughout the store that unlock digital tools, resources and instant access to an expanded assortment. Walmart is blending the best of physical and digital to create a seamless omni journey — making shopping easy, fast and convenient.

"This store was built with the customer in mind," said Furner. "It’s part of a larger transformation happening across our stores as we reimagine what shopping looks like for the future. It shows what’s possible when innovation meets intention."

The new Cypress store brings more than 300 new jobs to the region. The opening is part of a multi-million-dollar investment strategy to modernize retail, create high-quality jobs and enhance the shopping experience for customers across the United States.

In addition to Cypress, in 2025, Walmart plans to open new Supercenters in Frisco, Texas; Melissa, Texas; Eagle Mountain, Utah; and Eastvale, California. Neighborhood Markets will debut in Tuscaloosa, Alabama; Milton, Florida; and Pace, Florida, while stores in Mountain View, California; and East Windsor, New Jersey, will be converted into full Supercenters.
