Everything about Wal-mart Neighborhood Market totally explained
Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market is chain of grocery stores launched by
Wal-Mart in
1998. These stores are designed to be the opposite of vastly larger
superstores. These smaller stores are meant to "woo shoppers with easier parking, less crowded aisles and quicker checkout." Neighborhood Market stores offer a variety of products including a full-line of
groceries, pharmaceuticals, health and beauty aids, photo developing services, and a limited selection of
general merchandise. Generally located in markets with
Wal-Mart Supercenters, they supplement
Wal-Mart's strong food distribution network. As of
November 30,
2007, there were 128 Neighborhood Markets in the
United States.
History
First opened in 1998, Neighborhood Markets range around 40,000 square feet, which is a quarter of the size of a typical
Wal-Mart Supercenter in the
United States. However, in many countries, stores of this scale would be classified as superstores or "compact
hypermarkets". Neighborhood Markets employ 80-100 employees and offer about 28,000 items.
Puerto Rico
In
July 2004,
Wal-Mart acquired
Amigo Supermarkets located in
Puerto Rico, they're very similar to the Neighborhood Markets, but the store name remains as Amigo and employees use Wal-Mart ID tags to identify themselves.
Canada
In 2006, the concept rolled into Canada.
Wal-Mart opened three stores in
2006 (one in
London, Ontario, and two in the Greater Toronto area), but the number could increase by the end of the year. In Canada, Neighborhood Markets are connected to regular Wal-Marts to form Wal-Mart Supercentres. There are now over 30 Supercentres in Canada with plans for over 100.
United States
In July of 2007,
Wal-Mart announced they'd be opening a Wal-Mart Neighboorhood Market in
Norfolk, Virginia during the Fall of 2008. One such store already exists in
Evansville,
Indiana and one in
Tucson, Arizona. In October of 2007, one was opened in
Baton Rouge. This particular store serves many of the LSU students due to the close proximity to the campus. In late 2005, one was opened in
Memphis, TN. There are a total of 3 in Memphis as of now.
