Wal-Mart Stores announced that all 100,000 square-foot
Wal-Mart Discount Stores will become 200,000 square-foot
Wal-Mart SuperCenters around
May 25,
2008 (a change that will include hundreds of the most-common Wal-Mart Discount Stores that will become the newest most-common experiment Wal-Mart SuperCenters), making it a total of over 4,000 Wal-Mart SuperCenters located anywhere in the
United States.
Wal-Mart SuperCenters combine standard Wal-Mart Discount Stores with 36 full-line merchandise departments and full-line supermarkets with meat and poultry, bakery, delicatessen, frozen foods, garden produce, dairy products, and seafood departments. These stores also feature numerous
