Walmart to remodel Jacksonville Supercenter, refreshing pickup, checkout and sales floor

Near Interstate 295 in Northwest Jacksonville, Walmart is putting nearly $3.32 million into Supercenter #1219, a 230,658-square-foot store at 12100 Lem Turner Rd. The city issued the permit on April 1 for FMGI Inc. to renovate the 1994 building, signaling a major refresh of a mature site rather than a brand-new store.

The work reaches the parts of the building that shape the day for hourly associates: the sales floor, the online grocery pickup area and the front checkout stations. For pickup teams, that can mean new staging patterns, different walking routes and tighter coordination when customers arrive for orders. For front-end associates, a redesigned checkout area can alter how lines form, where backups happen and how easily supervisors can open lanes when traffic spikes.

That makes this more than a cosmetic project. A remodel centered on pickup and checkout changes the way a store moves. Associates often have to work around construction zones, shifting merchandise resets and temporary traffic patterns while still serving customers. In a store that stays open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day, even a partial remodel can change the rhythm of cart pickup, register coverage and customer service backups.

The Lem Turner Road location sits on about 30.32 acres at southwest Lem Turner Road and Interstate 295. It has also been operating for more than three decades, which helps explain why Walmart is choosing to update the building instead of replacing it. In a Northside market with another Walmart Supercenter about 1.92 miles away on City Square Drive, keeping the older store efficient matters for both customer flow and store-level staffing pressure.

The project also fits Walmart’s wider operating strategy. The company has said remodeled stores will reflect its Store of the Future concept, with improved layouts, expanded product selections and innovative technology. In its 2025 annual report, Walmart described an omnichannel model that ties stores to eCommerce through pickup and delivery services. In April 2025, Walmart said it would remodel 34 Florida stores as part of a 650-store nationwide plan, showing how the company is reshaping older supercenters into fulfillment hubs, checkout engines and customer service centers at the same time.
