Anyone who has visited the Mountain Home Walmart in recent weeks has noticed a lot of construction underway. A $2.8 million project to remodel the store is in full swing after getting started in February, with completion expected by late June or early July. The cornerstone of the project is a new building being constructed for mobile orders and the store’s new delivery service.

Kayleigh Brown is a store lead in Mountain Home. She says Walmart likes to remodel its stores about every seven years.
