Interesting to learn more about price comparison between the larger Walmart stores and the neighborhood Walmart stores.

Do the larger Walmart stores have the same prices throughout the country?
I think from what Mrs. R said, they do not have the same prices throughout the country. But then, neither do the other grocery stores have the same prices everywhere. General costs like rent, fuel, warehousing, wages, etc., are not the same everywhere.

Other than Walmart, supplier competition would factor in. The grocery prices, for instance, we're much higher in West MI than they were in NJ and Pittsburgh because for the most part there were only two suppliers supplying all the grocery chains in that area. Very little competition.
