Major Changes Coming to Walmart in ID, WA, and Utah

Many big companies have been shutting down over the last couple of years. Some of this is due to online shopping, some of it is the effects of the pandemic years ago, and some of it is a result of the change in society and how it operates. Many places that once thrived in America no longer are succeeding and some no longer are around at all. Despite all the places that have struggled, one place continues to succeed both online and in physical stores. Walmart continues to thrive and has done a great job at keeping up with the times and figuring out what works. Walmart is set to make some major changes in 2025, hoping to keep their customers happy and to continue to succeed moving forward.

Walmart in Idaho, Washington, and Utah Making Changes

Walmart has done a great job at adapting, including expanding its online store. Most places have learned that to survive you have to focus online, but Walmart is great at doing both and is also giving plenty of attention to their physical stores as well. Some of the changes and upgrades that they plan on making include more selection, sustainability, in-store tech to help shoppers navigate the store, new aisle displays, fresh paint and lighting, and of course new and more shopping carts. Walmart is doing so well that they are even planning to open 150 new stores shortly. While these changes are great for shoppers, there is another major change coming soon. 

Major Checkout Change at Walmart in Idaho, Washington, and Utah

For those unaware, Walmart offers buy now pay later, or BNPL. This is great for those who may be a bit behind on other bills or are low on cash but need groceries, school supplies, or Christmas presents, especially with big items. This program is changing though, but positively moving forward. Since 2019 Walmart has been working with Affirm to allow customers to pay in installments, but that will change this year as Walmart will begin working with Klarna. This new partnership will help customers make payments over a 3 to 36-month payment. This will be for both online and in stores.
