We were loyal Walmart shoppers in Utah. There were Walmart Stores (most were super stores) located about every 3 miles. The stores were clean, well organized and a pleasure in which to shop.

Here, based on the low income of the general area around The Villages, you see that reflected in the stores here. Friends of ours said
"Walmarts in Utah = Bloomgdales; Walmarts in Florida = Prision grounds". Now I certainly wouldn't make that observation, but there is a vast difference in the management of the stores here and in Utah......and not a good difference! You se that reflected in the clientele from outside the bubble.

The Walmart Neighborhood Market is simply a Grocery store/Pharmacy. With the overcrowding at Colony it will be a nice relief to shop across the street from that chaos at Colony parking situation. And Walmart Neighborhood Markets have rock bottom prices compared to Publix.
