Walmart is looking to transform a long-vacant commercial building located at 325 Oakland Street in Bristol, Connecticut. The site, which has previously operated as a Shaw’s grocery store and a Walmart Neighborhood Market, is undergoing a permit application process for interior modifications aimed at creating a delivery-focused facility. Chief Building Official Richard Brown confirmed that the application was submitted in January and anticipates a review completion within a few weeks. The project, estimated to cost $500,000, will not feature traditional retail aisles but will include self-contained refrigerated cases, storage racks, produce scales, self-checkout kiosks, and a breakroom. The building is owned by OSJ of Bristol LLC, which purchased it for $6 million in June 2024. Walmart's corporate communications director, Robyn Babbitt, has not disclosed further details about the project timeline due to the ongoing permit review.
