Is “Walmart Neighborhood Market” different than Walmart or Walmart Supercenter?
Yes.
Neighborhood Market locations are usually more comparable to a non-Walmart standard grocery store analog.
Neighborhood Markets are usually much smaller than a typical Walmart or Walmart Supercenter. The former is more focused on grocery only items and other typical items found in grocery stores – paper products, a small pharmacy section, small personal care section, etc. Unlike the latter two mentioned, Neighborhood Markets do not have the large quantities of non-grocery retail items. Typically no electronics, apparel, toys, or other similar sections of a usual Walmart or Walmart Supercenter.
TL;DR:
Walmart Neighborhood Markets are smaller grocery store type locations.
Thanks for the clarification. I had no idea that these exist.
You’re welcome. Good luck!
It’s a useful type of location for Walmart customers; especially for predominantly grocery shoppers.
Only advice I would add is it can get crowded around lunchtimes and/or the end of a regular business day, as many seem to frequent those locations at those times. Lines at the deli can get particularly long during those time slots as people are shopping for an immediate meal instead of going to drive-thru or a quick service restaurant.
The prices can be higher there than at regular WM’s so watch out for that. It wasn’t much a difference in my area, but enough that I always hit the regular WM instead, unless I knew for a fact that the price was the same as the regular WM. Milk was more expensive at the WM market, for example.
Jacks gluten-free pizzas are fantastic. My daughter has celiac so we try all the GF pizzas we see. She has put Jacks as her number one currently. I’ve tried it myself and I was rather impressed with how close it tastes compared to a original Jacks.
Holy cow, is it really $4.49 for a can of soup?
