USA | Walmart has announced the grand opening of its newest Supercentre in Cypress, Texas.
This is the company’s first ground-up Supercentre in four years and the first new-construction “Store of the Future” in the USA.
The milestone marked 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 modernising retail, expanding access to essential services and strengthening communities.
Designed to make shopping faster, easier and more connected, the Cypress Supercentre 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 Supercentre offers a broader assortment across key categories and new ways to shop and save 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.

- A full-service fuel station with eight pumps serving up to 16 vehicles.

- Best-in-class pickup and delivery options — including Curbside Pickup, Fast Delivery (within three hours), Express Delivery (as soon as 30 minutes), and in—home delivery allow customers to shop how and when they want, with the speed and convenience they deserve.

"This store was built with the customer in mind. 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 Cypress opening is part of a multi-million-dollar investment strategy to modernise retail, create high-quality jobs and enhance the shopping experience for customers across the United States.
