We have a new Walmart in our small town; a Walmart Supercenter opened here today and the old one closed last night. So, had to go and check it out today! It is 3 times larger than the old store but I think it’s not as big as some other supercenters I have been in before. It does have more in it but just not big long aisles with lots of choices or maybe it depends on the specific item you are looking for. I wonder how it will affect the other stores here, although we don’t have a whole lot of other stuff to choose from anyway. My old store never carried the HE detergent that I need for my washer and I asked them to stock it but they never did. This one had some, but just not very many brands to choose from…….the store 30 minutes from here had a few more choices. Price you pay for small towns I suppose. I also went to the other fairly big grocery store here today, and I think that for this week anyway, their prices will be fairly competitive….not sure how long that will last though.

Indy…..the thriving metropolis. I will have to pay a visit to the new Wal-Mart when we come to town.

haha! I’m sure it will be the highlight of the trip too, unless you go to the Crown or something else. Yes, so “thriving” here!

Yeah, a new place to shop! Three times larger than the old store is a big deal. Should save quite a bit of gas driving to Greenville to do major grocery shopping trips.
I, too, will have to check it out the next time we come to town 🙂 I never met a Walmart I didn’t like!!!

yep, very nice. no complaining that it’s a small supercenter. it’s much, much better than what you had.
