Grand reopening Friday for Bedford Park Walmart

Bedford Park residents can get a first look at the newly remodeled Walmart Supercenter at 7050 S. Cicero Ave., on Friday, May 20. The store will celebrate its ReGrand Opening with activities for the community beginning at 9 a.m.

Along with a disc jockey who will play hit tunes, community residents are invited to enjoy complimentary beverages and snacks and join a free raffle for a new bike. Local officials, including Village Mayor David R. Brady, will be on hand and Walmart representatives will present donations to the Bedford Park Police Department, the Bedford Park Fire Department and the Cook County Sheriff’s Department.

“We are excited for our ReGrand Opening ceremony and the chance to honor the Bedford Park Police and Fire Departments that do so much for our community,” said Frank Krasniqi, Walmart store manager. “We are certain our customers will enjoy the store’s new look and feel, and we know it will make their shopping experience even better.”

The remodel includes several transformations like an additional associate-manned checkout register which will help customers save time. The upgrades, including a more convenient Online Pickup location, also complement the measures the company has taken in its U.S. stores to help protect associates and customers from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. 

Customers will enjoy the following store improvements:

New $1 Shop at the front of the store

New Grab & Go Deli/Lunch Items at the front of the store

Online Pickup moved to a more convenient location within the store

Additional associate-operated checkout lane to help customers make their purchases more quickly Walmart will continue to innovate to help customers save time and money by giving them the option to shop when, where, and how they want, including:

Pickup – Busy customers love Walmart’s pickup option. It gives them the convenience of shopping online and the ease of quickly picking up groceries without leaving their cars. The best part: there is no fee to use Walmart Grocery Pickup. Customers using SNAP also have the option to use pickup services in most states. 

Pharmacy Curbside Pickup – Customers may pick up their prescriptions safely and efficiently without needing to unbuckle their seatbelts. At no additional cost, curbside pickup is another way to help customers save money and live better. 

Delivery – Walmart’s convenient delivery service is also a hit with customers. Even more, Walmart has now made both pickup and delivery contact free. 

Express delivery – customers now have the option to have their deliveries made in under two hours. 

Walmart Pay – a touch-free way to pay.
