Moving Fast to Serve You Better: Why We're Refreshing Your Neighborhood Market
Sam Walton always believed in "swimming upstream," challenging the traditional way of doing things to find a better path for the customer. That's exactly what we're doing with our latest round of Walmart Neighborhood Market store remodels.
This April, several Walmart Neighborhood Markets across Florida, Oklahoma, Texas, Georgia, South Carolina and Louisiana will test a new kind of rapid remodel process designed forquicker results and less customer disruption.
Instead of stretching a remodel over several months, we are condensing the work by temporarily closing the main sales floor for four weeks and keeping our Pharmacies and Fuel Stations open.
This is an opportunity to test, learn, and refine our remodel process to identify best practices for the future.
Our Associates: The Heart of the Refresh
Our store associates are at the heart of everything we do, and they are experts in what our customers want and need. During the rapid remodels, they will be working alongside our remodel teams, setting up new fixtures, organizing products, and preparing the store to welcome customers back.
Our associates are passionate about their stores and by contributing their skills during the remodel, they are helping shape the next chapter of their store.
Less Disruption, Better Results
We know that shopping around closed construction areas or searching for relocated items can be frustrating for our customers. While we try to minimize that friction with every remodel, these four-week temporary closures aim at going one step further. We want to alleviate as much customer disruption as possible and deliver a better store experience, faster.
These stores were chosen in part because there are other Walmart locations nearby, offering convenient shopping alternatives both in store and by using the Walmart app or Walmart.com to place pickup orders at the neighboring stores.
Delivery options are also available. Customers can continue ordering their favorites for delivery in as fast as 30 minutes, with the same experience.
When the remodeled stores reopen, customers will walk into a brighter, more inviting space designed around how they shop today. While updates vary by location to meet the specific needs of the community, many stores will feature expanded aisles and reconfigured layouts that create more space and make it easier to navigate.
Enhancements to Online Grocery Pickup and Delivery areas will support growing demand for digital orders, and pharmacies will receive updates to better serve customers' healthcare needs.
Customers will also see improvements in technology throughout the store, including clear digital price signage that highlights rollbacks and featured items, upgraded checkout areas designed to reduce wait times, and tools that help associates quickly locate products and assist shoppers.
Together, these updates are designed to make shopping faster, simpler, and more comfortable from start to finish.
A Fresh Start
This test is about more than new shelves and lights. It is about listening to our customers, continuing to look for ways to save them time and money, and continuing to evolve alongside the communities we serve.
By rethinking how we remodel our stores, we are creating a faster path to a better experience. We are excited to reopen these Neighborhood Markets and welcome customers back with familiar faces into stores that feel fresh and ready for the future.

Milliman analysis: Competitive pension risk transfer cost increased from 100.4% to 100.5% during February
Competitive bidding process saves about 3.1% of buyout costs as of February 28
*
Milliman, Inc., a premier global consulting and actuarial firm, today announced the latest results of its Milliman Pension Buyout Index (MPBI). During February, the estimated cost to transfer retiree pension risk to an insurer in a competitive bidding process climbed10 basis points, from 100.4% to 100.5% of a plan's accounting liabilities (accumulated benefit obligation, or ABO). That means the estimated retiree PRT cost is now 100.5% of a plan's ABO.
During the same time period, the average annuity purchase cost across all insurers in our index also increased 10 basis points, from 103.5% to 103.6%. The competitive bidding process is estimated to save plan sponsors about 3.1% of PRT costs as of February 28, 2026.
"Even with the drop in accounting interest rates this month, the MPBI remained fairly steady as annuity purchase rates largely mirrored the decrease," said Jake Pringle, Milliman principal and co-author of the MPBI. "With recent global economic instability, we will continue to monitor rate movement and impact for pension risk transfers in early 2026."
The MPBI compares the FTSE Above Median AA Curve to the annuity purchase composite interest rates from nine insurers to estimate the competitive and average costs of a PRT annuity de-risking strategy. Individual plan annuity buyouts can vary based on plan size, complexity, and competitive landscape.

TOWSON, Maryland, March 14 -- Lebau and Neuworth, a law firm, issued the following news:
* * *
I Was Fired After Taking FMLA Leave in Maryland - Do I Have a Case?
If you were fired after taking leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), you are probably asking one question, "Was my termination legal?"
Many Maryland employees are terminated shortly after requesting medical leave, returning from leave, or submitting medical paperwork. Employers often claim it was a performance issue, restructuring decision, or "business necessity." But when termination closely follows protected leave,that timing can raise serious legal concerns.
In many situations, firing someone for taking FMLA leave is unlawful retaliation. Experienced Maryland employment attorneys at Lebau & Neuworth can review your termination, investigate the timeline, and determine if you have a strong claim for retaliation or interference. Schedule your free consultation now to protect your rights and explore your options.
How FMLA Leave Works in Maryland
FMLA is a federal law that allows eligible employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave in a 12-month period. It applies to serious health conditions, pregnancy and childbirth, caring for a spouse, child, or parent with a serious health condition, and certain military-related family needs.
If you qualify, your employer must maintain your group health insurance during your absence and restore you to the same or an equivalent position when you return. You should not lose your job simply because you needed medical or family leave.
Can an Employer Fire You After FMLA Leave?
An employer is not required to keep someone employed forever simply because they took FMLA leave. If a company can prove that they would have terminated the employee regardless of the leave, the termination may be lawful. The real issue is the motive behind your termination.
If the decision to terminate was influenced by your leave request, your medical condition, or the inconvenience your absence caused, it may violate federal law. Courts often look closely at timing. When an employee is fired during leave or shortly after returning, it can suggest retaliation.
You may have a strong case if you were terminated while on approved leave, let go immediately after returning, or suddenly disciplined for issues that were never raised before your leave. At Lebau & Neuworth, our FMLA lawyers know the warning signs that come with wrongful termination and can use this information to better protect your rights.
What Is FMLA Retaliation?
FMLA retaliation happens when an employer takes negative action against an employee because they requested or used protected leave.
Retaliation does not always look obvious. It can include termination, demotion, pay cuts, removal of responsibilities, or sudden negative evaluations after you return from leave.
What Is FMLA Interference?
Separate from retaliation, the law also prohibits interference. This happens when an employer prevents you from exercising your FMLA rights.
Examples may include denying qualifying leave, failing to inform you of your rights, refusing reinstatement, or placing obstacles in the way of approved leave.
In some cases, employees are told their position was eliminated during leave, only to learn later that someone else filled the role. Situations like this deserve careful legal review by the employment lawyers at Lebau & Neuworth.
Were You Eligible for FMLA?
Not every employee qualifies for FMLA automatically. In most cases, you are required to have worked for your employer for at least 12 months, logged at least 1,250 hours in the previous year, and worked at a location where the employer has 50 or more employees within a 75-mile radius.
Employers sometimes misapply these requirements. Even if your employer claims you were not eligible, a closer review of your work history and their policies may reveal you have stronger claims than they initially thought.
What Compensation Can Be Recovered?
If your FMLA rights were violated, you may be entitled to recover lost wages and benefits. In some cases, courts can award front pay or order reinstatement. The law also allows for liquidated damages in certain situations, which can increase the total recovery.
The value of a claim depends on your salary, benefits, how long you were out of work, and whether the employer acted in good faith.
Medical Leave Terminations May Involve Other Claims
Many FMLA cases overlap with other employment laws. A termination after medical leave may also involve disability discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, or failure to provide reasonable accommodation under Maryland law. When multiple laws apply, it can strengthen your legal position and expand the remedies available.
What Should You Do If You Were Fired After Taking Leave?
If this happens to you, there are several steps you can take right away.
* Save emails and text messages.
* Keep copies of medical certifications and leave approvals.
* Write down a timeline of events while details are fresh.
* Be cautious about signing a severance agreement before having it reviewed.
Small details often matter in these cases. Many severance agreements require you to waive potential legal claims. The timing of conversations, written comments from supervisors, and changes in treatment after leave can all become important.
Talk to Lebau & Neuworth About Your FMLA Termination
If you were fired after taking FMLA leave in Maryland, you may have a retaliation or wrongful termination claim.
The employment attorneys at Lebau & Neuworth represent employees who lose their jobs after exercising protected rights. We evaluate the full timeline, the employer's stated reasons, and the surrounding circumstances to determine whether the termination was lawful.
Contact the experienced team at Lebau & Neuworth to discuss your situation and find out whether you have a case.

COSTA MESA, California, March 14 -- Experian, an information services company, posted the following news release on March 13, 2026:

Experian and OpenAI launch the UK's first credit score app in ChatGPT
Combining the UK's most trusted credit score with aggregated, anonymised data to give consumers contextual insights for better financial decisions
* The new Experian Credit Score app is searchable in ChatGPT via '@Experian UK'
* This marks Experian's latest step in promoting transparency and learning around credit scores, reinforcing its mission to "better your score, better your story."
*
Experian, the data and technology company, today announced the launch of the UK's first ever credit score app within ChatGPT apps - introducing a new postcode based credit score comparison tool that brings Experian's trusted data directly into one of the world's most widely used AI platforms.
The tool uses aggregated and anonymised Experian Credit Score data, the UK's most trusted score, to show how typical scores compare across postcode areas and age groups. In a few seconds, consumers can see local and demographic score averages, providing helpful context as part of everyday financial education.
As more people turn to conversational AI for quick, clear answers on financial topics, Experian's partnership ensures they can now access reliable score insights in a format that is simple and fast.
The new tool offers:
* Local and age-based benchmarks: average credit scores by age and postcode.
* Easy sign- up: a simple route for consumers to check their Experian credit score when they're ready.
* More intuitive financial guidance: A conversational experience that helps more people feel confident and in control, offering an accessible way for the 92% of adults with low financial capability to engage with financial information at their own pace.1
This launch is a significant moment in Experian's strategy to deliver secure, intelligent experiences across external AI platforms. With 18-34-year-olds making up more than half of ChatGPT's user base yet being among the least likely to have checked their credit score, the tool creates a valuable new pathway into financial education for younger consumers.
Edu Castro, Managing Director of Experian Consumer Services UK&I, said: "By bringing the power of Experian's trusted data into a leading AI platform, we're giving people a quick and simple way to explore how their credit score compares locally and by age - making it easier for them to sign up to Experian to discover their personalised score and insights.
This launch is only the first step, it's an important milestone in our strategy to provide secure, intelligent experiences wherever people choose to engage with us, and a significant step in bringing the UK's most trusted credit score to more people"
By embedding credit score insights directly into ChatGPT, Experian is enabling more people to engage with financial information in a familiar, accessible environment. To get started, users simply connect to the Experian app via the App Store or Google Play before tagging it in ChatGPT. The Experian credit score tool in ChatGPT can be found here.
