Walmart Is Opening 8 New Locations in 2025. Is Your City on the List?

Walmart continues to prove it is a retail juggernaut. The grocery chain has announced that it is opening eight new locations in 2025. Let’s take a look at where the corporation is expanding its footprint.

Walmart Is Opening 8 Locations Across the Country

According to FinanceBuzz, Walmart announced its five-year expansion strategy in 2024. The company’s ambitious efforts include the opening of approximately 150 outlets under the “Store of the Future” concept. This notion encompasses enhanced retail layouts, expanded product selections, and modern technology.

The retailer’s expansion goals are motivated by a desire to serve as many customers as possible, generate jobs, and establish itself as a low-cost favorite.

In 2025, the business plans to open eight more outlets. A new Walmart Supercenter, complete with a 16-pump fuel station, will open in Eastvale, California. The business will debut this spring at 14100 Limonite Ave. While Mountain View, California currently has a Supercenter, the retail behemoth plans to open a new facility this year.

Cypress, Texas, is another city that is receiving a bright new Supercenter, expected to be completed by the spring. This city already has three Walmart locations.

The retailer also has ambitious aspirations for Collin County this year: Both Melissa and Celina, Texas, will get a new Supercenter. The former city will get its new store on the corner of McKinney Street and Legacy Ranch Drive, according to the outlet, while the latter will open as part of the new Shawnee Trail Development at Preston Road and Collin County Outer Loop — marking the first Walmart location in Celina.

Meanwhile, Tuscaloosa, Alabama, will receive a Walmart Neighborhood Market. The store had been planned since 2015, but development did not begin until 2024. It will be Tuscaloosa’s second Neighborhood Market and the third overall store that serves residents.

Walmart also plans to expand in Milton, Florida. The new store, located at 6275 US Highway 90, will open this summer. Pace, Florida, already has a supermarket. However, this year, the shop will open a Neighborhood Market at the intersection of Berryhill Road and West Spencer Field Road.

The Retailer Retains Its Egg Supply

Walmart continues to be a purveyor of eggs throughout this shortage period. And, recently, it shared how it does it.

Despite an ongoing shortage caused by the current avian flu outbreak, the retailer has pledged to keep eggs on its shelves. Walmart is currently not limiting consumers’ egg purchases, with the exception of a 60-count bundle.

“It’s really important to provide surety of supply for our customers so that they can come and get the items that they want,” CFO John David Rainey told FOX Business. “We’ve been fortunate to be able to do that, thus far.” 

According to Rainey, Walmart is doing everything possible to meet demand by collaborating with suppliers. For now, CEO Doug McMillon has pledged to keep prices low despite supply constraints caused by the worldwide avian flu outbreak.

Meanwhile, Whole Foods is limiting egg purchases to three cartons per customer due to challenges in obtaining animal welfare-compliant eggs. Trader Joe’s has also implemented a strict limit on egg sales, allowing only one 12-egg carton per shopper per day.

The egg shortage is not limited to shops like Walmart. With limited availability and uncertainty about future orders, restaurants nationwide are raising prices on egg-based dishes. Waffle House, for example, added a 50-cent premium for each egg served. A sticker on the menu at Waffle House outlets across the country explains the additional charge to diners.

“When shortages like this happen, operators work closely with their food suppliers to determine how it will impact them,” said the National Restaurant Association’s Sean Kennedy, per FOX Business. “There are several options operators consider, from changing their menus to increasing their prices.”
