Will Walmart Express Catch On?

Especially in the hood...

we had one....now we have smaller version of supercenter

it will due to good marketing

But stop putting them in places we don't need them! Put them in little towns like mine where people need them! People with no vehicles who have to walk everywhere. Please...

not with me, I don't shop at wal-mart

Where's the undecided?

anything wallmart does works

Locations, selection, and probably price too. They are a juggernaut for a reason.

well i guess you could call it express so long as they get the right cashiers lol. the walmart by me is always a chore, the dudes can't count money to save their lives.

Of course it will....people are all about convenience...Wal-mart is like America's two dollar whore, it's cheap, easy and kinda nasty...and now they can go to an express for a quicky...~_^

Walmart Express???

The Yes/No poses a false dichotomy. Yes, they probably will catch on in some locations, no in others. As for eventual ubiquity on the order of WallyWorld superstores? I'm really undecided. Not enough data to extract a trend.

I'll drop by the one in Gentry sometime, when I happen to be in the area, and check it out, though.

If it is quick easy & efficient with self check out lines & no extra services centers they will be easy to access.

i dont even shop at the regular WalMart(unless i have to), so why go there?

I wouldn't be suprised if Wal-Mart started making cars. Whatever they do, they'll still make money.

Maybe in areas where there isn't a Walmart every 5 miles already, it might catch on. I think it depends on more of what they sell than anything.

It'll be packed like sardines.

I found Waldo!

So are we also look at wal-mart Restaurant?

Will they still have electric cankle carts?

Who cares, I've never shopped in one and I won't start now, China's sales room isn't a good place to shop.

Well...excuse me.....I remember tiny walmart stores..... in small towns....and it worked then and I would go

Now that's brilliant idea... Wal-Mart going after all the tiny stores... Great idea, but I don't like wal-mart...

I don't like fighting the crowds in the big store if I only need a few items from the grocery section. Now if I am shopping,,,, I like the bigger store!

Some people complain that the super centers are too big so this will make them happy

It would be a nice change from the super huge Walmarts, that take two hours to get through.

I want to say yes, but I think It's a maybe because of the economy.

I think it is a great for the rural areas, especially when Walmart want the exposures and don't want to open a "super" store..This will make it like another converience store.

I think people will definitely check it out.

Soon Walmart will be the only place to shop. It will be like the movie Demolition man. Only restaurant to eat at was Taco Bell. Get ready! lol.....

It's just like when Tesco's unleashed a small store in my town. It's not that much good a quality store, and replaced a store which sold some beautiful antiques, decorations for your mantelpiece, clothes and books, known as Elmers Arcade. I hate it when huge corporate companies take over these stores that everyone likes and replacing it with something cheap that I could get at even better value down at our local store, Waitrose. I used to like looking through the window to see glittering glass and china vases and sculptures, wooden and cloth dolls, and handwoven objects. Now when I look in where it used to be I see rows of white shelves and bright, sterile lights that doesn't benefit the atmosphere. And it's always cold in though, no matter what you're wearing, and however far you are from the freezers.
After more Tesco stores started popping up around England, people began protesting. And I don't blame them. The fact that huge corporations replace good old corner shops, shops that you are familiar with, shops you go into everyday and greet the shop owners who you are good friends with. That doesn't really happen in a supermarket. All they do is want to make money out of you, which is not surprising seeing as most people want to make money when they set up a store. If small shops from big companies keep replacing these wonderful friendly corner and other stores like them, there's going to be more than a few angry faces around.

Why did you and all the other folks stop supporting those "stores that everyone likes"? You speak so glowingly about them but the bottom line is you and the other customers made the choice to buy from Tesco instead. Tesco did not replace those "good old corner shops", you did.

You make way too much sense!

Exactly right

LOL! Great scene.

I suppose in some towns they might thrive. Walmart has neighborhood grocery stores in many cities, too. In Las Vegas it's reported that they aren't doing so good. People like the super centers where they can get what they need in one stop.

I am guessing that it will, especially when people know what they want and don't feel like walking all over one of the giant stores to get it. I would imagine it will give dollar stores and independent small stores a run for their money.

Good for Walmart!

I don't like it, but yes they will... the UK has Tesco as it's super-power supermarket and they have express stores in nearly every town nowadays!

my vote may be wrong... these are pilot stores for them
if they are a hit....see more ..if not...forget it...most likely
walmart has decided buyers want it...bark
