Walmart is remodeling at least eight Maryland stores this year, including four in the Baltimore area, and will open a new store in Washington County, the retailer said.

The new store, south of Hagerstown off Arnett Drive, will open between late August and mid-September and employ 300 people. Walmart announced its full-year investment plans for Maryland in late May.

The mass discounter plans to spend several million dollars on each store remodel, said Phillip Keene, a Walmart spokesman.
