Not sure of the reference...The Wal-Mart on 441 a couple of blocks from Aldi?
Not sure what that "remodel" (more like rearrangement) was intended to accomplish. But what it DID do is to totally snarl shopper and cart traffic. The cat food aisle for example: now way in the back of the store in an aisle so narrow that two carts cannot meet in it. One has to turn around and go back. I've taken to parking my cart in an open area (usually between aisle displays), then go and get my item(s) and carrying them back to the cart.
Prices aren't always the cheapest around either. Our coffee grinder lunched itself after several years of service and we stopped by Wal-Mart for a new one. They had exactly ONE brand, selling for $45. No deal. I found one on Amazon the same day (Krups) for half the price plus prime one-day delivery.
Every time I go to that particular Wal-Mart I get irritated. But I keep going back, and despite what I see as off-the-wall merchandise arrangements and limited choices the place is always full.
