WILX is reporting tonight that Walmart is going to expand their store out near Eastwood Town Center to an “upscale” Super Center.

“Wal-mart’s proposing a revised concept from what they have, geared towards upscale shopping experience,” says Lansing Township’s director of development Steve Hayward.

Hayward says the Wal-Mart expansion would feature a new upscale grocery section, as well as a home furnishings area.

“It’s geared toward a more organic component and more foreign items, international foods as well,” he says.

The plan was approved tonight by the Lansing Township board.  The project could start as soon as September
