How SASR scaled Walmart store remodels and delivered results.
From just 3 stores in 2024 to more than 22 locations in 2025, SASR Workforce Solutions has significantly expanded its Walmart remodel program across 12 states. This growth isn’t just about numbers; it’s about people, trust, and the ability to deliver results where and when they matter most.
At the heart of this success is a focus on building strong field teams, staying closely connected with Walmart leadership, and creating real opportunities for our associates to grow. Our comprehensive solutions model, responsive recruiting, and commitment to communication have helped us become a trusted partner in store remodels nationwide.

The Challenge
Remodeling a store while keeping day-to-day operations running is no easy task. Each Walmart remodel brings fast-paced schedules, evolving floor plans, and high expectations. From fixture installs and merchandising resets to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) adjustments and signage updates, the scope is broad, and consistency across all locations is critical.
Walmart needed a labor partner that could meet these demands with precision, speed, and professionalism.
The Approach
We met this challenge by doubling down on three key areas: communication, leadership, and local recruiting.
Clear, Consistent Communication
We believe communication should never be an afterthought. Our Field Managers and Senior Project Coordinators connect daily with Walmart leadership, aligning goals, surfacing issues, and adapting quickly when plans change. This daily rhythm helps keep projects moving smoothly, especially during overnight shifts, and creates a clear line of sight between teams on the ground and leadership in the store.
A Leadership Structure That Lifts People Up
SASR’s field structure is designed not just for efficiency, but for growth. With roles ranging from Field Employee to Lead, Project Coordinators (PC1 and PC2), Field Managers, Talent Consultants, and National Account Managers, we offer a path forward for those who want to lead. Many of our top performers have advanced through the ranks, gaining valuable experience along the way. All of our employees have prior retail experience, which also enhances their efficiency and collaboration.
Sourcing Local Talent, Fast
Our recruiting team knows how to move quickly. Using a mix of job boards, referrals, and our internal candidate database, they’re able to find, hire, and deploy qualified workers in as little as six days. That’s how we staffed high-performing remodels in places like Delray Beach, FL, and Perry, FL, both of which had standout results.
In Perry, the remodel wrapped up a whole week early. In Delray, our team maintained full staffing and a smooth workflow from start to finish.
What Our Teams Delivered
Across these remodels, SASR teams executed a wide range of critical assignments:
- Full-category merchandising resets using new planograms and layouts
- Shelf reflow, labeling, facing, and zone integrity to meet Walmart standards
- Gondola and fixture movement, including breakdown, relocation, and reassembly
- Endcap and inline display installations, along with signage, seasonal headers, and wall décor
- Cooler and freezer door resets, including handle swaps and labeling
- Safety enhancements such as navigation signage and barrier setups
- Backroom organization and cleanup during final turnover phases
- Punch list and final walkthrough support, ensuring every store was customer-ready
This wide scope of services was coordinated through daily recap calls and consistent field oversight to ensure every store remodel ran smoothly and stayed on schedule.
Between January 2024, and today, we’ve supported:
73,023 Hours Worked
21 Locations
646 Assignments
20 Cities
357 Associates
12 States
What’s Made the Difference
Our field teams bring experience, energy, and accountability to every job. Leads and PC2s help bridge the gap between SASR and Walmart, especially during overnight shifts. Our structured support system, including Field Managers, Talent Consultants, and Account Managers, gives our associates and store partners the tools they need to succeed.
Looking Ahead
As we continue to grow our Walmart partnership, we remain committed to leading with people, backed by process. Our goal is to keep developing great leaders, keep communicating clearly, and focus on delivering store remodels that meet the highest standards, on time, every time.
