Mattel Disney Pixar CARS Diecast: Walmart Neighborhood Market
Around the country, Walmart is opening up “Neighborhood Market’s” which are mostly food grocery stores and a smaller footprint. It’s not spectacular but the aisles are wide and it’s not clotted with a lot of people so if it’s convenient, it’s not a bad addition. They do have 2 aisles for toys – I presume most of the stores are standard and will offer essentially the same layout and merchandise …
This one was open about 3 weeks ago, I did not line up to go on the first day but it looks like they stocked the singles from way back when – all with an angled diecut so a case from 2011 … the plan o gram lists haulers (Wally & Mack) plus some playsets (Quick Changers & Micro Drifters) but none had made it on the shelf yet.
So, if it’s convenient, it might be a worthy stop for you but you probably don’t need to plan a trip there … though you can get these coffee creamers …
Either the genius dropped his chocolate bar into his coffee and a light bulb went off or when he was told he should cut back on eating chocolate bars, he thought, “Doc never said I couldn’t drink my candy bars in liquid form!” GENIUS!

So Walmart comes to town, opens a huge store with super low prices, runs all the smaller local competition out of business, then opens a smaller local business type store… evil genius!
Some neighborhoods won’t allow big box stores in their area for fear of traffic, crime, lower home values, etc. I remember several Wal-Mart’s were rejected in Arlington, Texas years ago because of this. However, grocery stores were allowed in these areas. So Walmart built green market grocery stores. They have been slowly transforming them from grocery stores into full-on supercenters since then.
Yes, WM just received building permits to build its first two store in DC this year. They will be the so-called neighborhood markets. DC must be the last jurisdiction in the country without a Walmart.
They just got their first Target a couple years ago.
The City of Los Angeles, population just under 4 million, covering 500 sq mi, has only three Walmart stores…
The town just to the south of me has a population of 26,000 people and covers 9 square miles. They have 3 Walmarts.
Makes me want to move to New Mexico and grow pot for fun.
I visited one of these in Alabama and found no toys at all, so either they are changing, or they have different layouts in various parts of the country
Retail is so depressing right now.
