Walmart has opened a next-generation supercenter store in Cypress, Texas.

The store reflects Walmart's commitment to innovation, community investment and the future of U.S. retail, according to a press release.

It is the company's first ground-up supercenter in four years. The retailer plans to build or convert more than 150 stores to the model over the next several years.

In 2025, Walmart plans to open supercenters in Frisco, Texas; Melissa, Texas; Eagle Mountain, Utah, and Eastvale, California. Neighborhood Markets will debut in Tuscaloosa, Alabama; Milton, Florida, and Pace, Florida, while stores in Mountain View, California; and East Windsor, New Jersey, will be converted into full Supercenters.

The Cypress supercenter features reimagined layouts, expanded services and innovative technology.

"It's a commitment to the future, an investment in a community and new job opportunities," John Furner, president and CEO of Walmart U.S., said in the release. "I'm proud of our associates in Cypress who brought this to reality."

Highlights of the new store include:

• A full-service fuel station with eight pumps serving up to 16 vehicles.
• A modern pharmacy with a health services room and drive-thru.
• A refreshed vision center offering expanded services.
• Elevated departments in fashion, baby, home and pets.
• Regional and popular favorites such as a Hispanic bakery section, fresh tortilla maker, sushi station and Dunkin'.
• Customer-centric amenities include a mother's room and an auto care center.
• Ability for customers to use the Walmart App to engage with the store, including scheduling TV mounting, enhancing registries or booking tire installation.
• Best-in-class pickup and delivery options — including curbside pickup, fast delivery (within three hours), express delivery (as soon as 30 minutes) and InHome — that allow customers to shop how and when they want, with the speed and convenience they deserve.
• Storewide digital shelf labels and updated Walmart branding.
