Attention: To Whom it May Concern
Re: Walmart Remodel – 5001 N. Ten Mile Rd.
LK Project No.: 20387
To whom it may concern,
On behalf of our client, Walmart Stores, Inc., we are submitting documents for proposed
changes to an existing Walmart Supercenter.
We are proposing a color update per the Walmart’s latest branded color as part of the
upcoming interior remodel project of the facility mentioned above. The new neutral (gray) tones are
anticipated to blend with the community development which also consists of surrounding buildings
painted in the same color scheme.
The current building materials, such as stone and brick, will remain intact, and our
construction documents will only reflect new paint on EIFS, CMU walls and adjacent elements such
as jib crane, gutters, and downspouts.
The signage will also be updated to comply with Walmart’s latest guidelines. The total
square footage will be decreased with the proposed new and replaced signage.
Painting the Walmart Supercenter to a neutral gray color scheme; accent color will be blue.
As shown on sheet A2, Wal-Mart would like to re-paint the exterior of the building to a neutral gray
color scheme. Except for the new build-out behind the proposed WM ID signs, there are no changes
to the building materials.
Replacing existing building signage with new, excluding the Pickup sign.
Due to damage and age, we are proposing to replace the existing exterior building signage with new.
The only exception will be the existing Pickup sign w/ Spark, which will not be replaced. Items to
note include the following:
• Re-branding Online Grocery Pickup elements from orange to blue.
Wal-Mart would like to re-brand the OGP parking stall signage from orange to blue.
• Adding additional Online Grocery Pickup parking stalls.
Walmart would like to add additional Online Grocery Pickup parking stalls. Note that there is
no reduction in the overall parking stall count.
