Converse Texas Kangaroo Special - Store #5144-1011

Wal-Mart is installing in-aisle monitors at its Converse store, a project filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs under the specific designation Converse Texas Kangaroo Special - Store #5144-1011. The work is classified as a renovation and alteration at 8315 FM 78, Converse, TX 78109, with an estimated cost of $66,000. The filing indicates a specific scope of adding in-aisle monitors to the existing facility.

The project involves a square footage change of 58 sq ft, a figure that reflects the specific area affected by the installation rather than the total store size. This scope is significantly smaller than the median renovation size in Bexar County, which stands at 4,100 sq ft. The estimated cost of $66,000 is below the county median of $250,000 for similar renovation and alteration filings, placing the project in the bottom quarter of cost estimates for this type of work in the region.

Walmart Real Estate Business Trust is the owner of record for this project. The registered accessibility specialist on file is Landy Perkins. The project is privately funded and located on private land for private use.

The project was registered with TDLR in September 2026. Plan review is pending, and construction start is scheduled for October 2026. The completion date on the filing is targeted for November 2026. This scheduled build window of 36 days is shorter than the county median of 103 days for similar projects. The status of the project is Project Registered.
