The Walmart retail store in Jacksonville’s Intracoastal West area will soon see some major renovations.

A remodeling of the 13490 Beach Blvd. Walmart will cover about 30,282 square feet in the store, according to the building permits approved by the city this month.

The revamp will focus on multiple sections of the building, but the general remodeling will include the customer service area near the front of the store where shoppers often return merchandise.

The Sam’s Club on Jacksonville’s Westside is about to undergo a substantial remodeling.

The 6373 Youngerman Circle store will see interior and external demolition to parts of the building. Workers will then add a new indoor shopping area for produce and a dairy area with associated coolers, according to the building permits.
