Walmart Canada To Invest Over C$500m On Store Upgrades

Walmart Canada has announced plans to invest more than C$500 million (€335.8 million) this year to refurbish its stores.

It would be the largest yearly investment in store upgrades, with more than 60% of outlets benefiting from the plan, the Canadian arm of the world's largest retailer said.

In July, Walmart Canada announced plans to spend C$3.5 billion over the next five years to strengthen its e-commerce business and renovate stores.

Walmart Canada said the plan is expected to create more than 2,000 construction jobs in the country.
