I'm sure locals were as thrilled as I (vacationer) was when they opened a Walmart Supercenter in Gulf Shores recently. "We" had to travel to Foley prior, but now Walmart is only minutes away from the beach, when you need "something".
It's virtually the same as any other Walmart Supercenter. Since this is a vacation area, they do have a section inside that is dedicated to airbrush t-shirts and tags or sand dollars and such. I thought that was something unique, something I don't see at home at my local Walmart.
In this one, they have a Subway restaurant. It's a Supercenter, so they do have both "goods" as well as grocery/food items.
They do sometimes keep only a few checkout aisles open and let lines pile up, which is something that appalls me. But, sometimes it's not so bad; depends on the amount of customers.
If in the area, check it out.
