- produce/deli/grocery/frozen etc seems to be just as much avail as a normal WM store.
- Gas pumps were 1/2 full - BTW $2.44 & 2.59, same price we saw at Colony Shell.
- the online order service in effect soon. The had $10 disc coupons to try.

Took pics, and a WM corp/mgr type told me this is the latest prototype of the USA Neighb WM and the largest... some pics taken>
I went a checked it out on Saturday. We had a Walmart neighborhood market near us in Utah. It wasn’t my favorite store but convenient with low prices.
I was surprised that this one is so small. Equally surprised that the Mngr told you it was one of the largest of the new prototype. The one near us in Utah was as large as Publix. But it was a much older store, so I’m sure they have revamped the plans several times since then.
It’s very conveniently located for us, nice not to have to get out on 466A!!
That will be extra nice when the population soars!!
