CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The newly remodeled Walmart store located at 15960 Dam Road in Clearlake will host a grand reopening celebration Friday, Sept. 9, at 10 a.m.

The company said the project represents its reinvestment in the store, its customers and the community. 

The remodel includes an expanded deli, more bakery options and touch-screen self-check-out registers also have been added for an enhanced customer experience.

Customers can also expect a new and improved customer service center with Money Services and Walmart Pickup. Clearlake residents also can shop millions of items on Walmart.com, many of which can be shipped for free to any Walmart store through Walmart Pickup.

The store includes a pharmacy with a full range of products, immunizations and services. Walmart pharmacists are ready to assist customers with product and prescription questions. Clearlake residents can easily transfer prescriptions and order refills on the go with the Walmart mobile app.

Local associates will provide a special welcome to members of the Clearlake community with a grand reopening celebration. 

A brief ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held on Friday, Sept. 9 at 10 a.m., followed by family activities and free BBQ in the parking lot.

As part of Walmart’s commitment to the Clearlake community, a check for $65,000 will be presented to the Redwood Empire Food Bank to support its Farm to Family School Pantry program which provides nutritious food to low-income families with children.

The grant will support the program’s launch in Lake County schools and will also help sustain eight existing sites in Sonoma County.

“Our Farm to Family School Pantry program has proven to be a vital nutritional resource for vulnerable children, allowing us to alleviate childhood hunger by providing essential nutrition to nourish their growing bodies and minds,” said David Goodman, REFB’s chief executive officer. “Thanks to the Walmart Foundation, we’ll be able to provide up to 25 pounds of food – including fresh produce, healthy staple foods and perishable/ non-perishable protein – to children at nine sites. Because of Walmart’s generosity, we will reach an average of 800 families, including 2,000 children at eight sites in Sonoma County. We’ll also be able to open one new site in Lake County which will serve approximately 100 families, including 250 children.”

Editor's note: Originally the company had referred to this as a “supercenter.” It has since issued a correction, as the Clearlake store is not a supercenter.
