Review content:
This is the "new" Wal-Mart that replaces the Wal-Mart that was originally at this location. It is listed as a "super store" and yup, that's a good description.
It is big. They built this store behind the old store, and tore down the old store to make a larger parking lot. The traffic flow in the lot is a bit better now, but come weekends, even holiday weekends, this place can pack out.
The store is clean, large, well lit. The bathrooms are also pretty clean, even months after the store opened. While there appeared to be more staff when the store opened, I have not had to wait all that long on line. But then again, I was here only once on a holiday weekend, and they did seem to have more staff and cashiers on that weekend. But I will not shop there on a holiday weekend again. Way too packed.
They seem to carry just about everything you might need. The prices are very inexpensive to just inexpensive, and the quality is reflected in that. But I have started using some products that I didn't use before, like my hot tub chemicals, because they are cheap and they always seem to be available, and they work rather well.
The food store does not have a deep selection. The other local stores carry more of the brands that I like. But again, those things that I do shop there for, they are cheaper. I noticed that the Orville Redenbacher Pour Over Cheddar Popcorn comes in a "4 pack" for less than the price that you pay at the other major supermarkets in the area.
Yes there are discounts to be had. Yes there are products that you can only buy at Wal-Mart. But again, quality should be checked. Clothing seems to "shrink" when washed in some instances, like in some of the cheaper t-shirts. But there are some products that are well worth the trip.
I "plan" trips here, making the most of off hours, compiling a list so that I don't have to go here more than I need to. It is just too crowded for my taste and I hate shopping in a mad house, which can result on a holiday weekend.
Wal-Mart - what can I say - big.
