The new features will also be tested to see if they'll be put in other Walmart stores across the country, a spokesperson said.
The store, 25800 Kuykendahl Rd., will include the first Walmart Care Clinic in Houston, and the first Chobani Cafe in Texas.

The cafe will be a "Mediterranean-inspired" food center inside the store.
