See, I don't think they cater to anyone. They build and put stores where ever they can for the most part. They go a lot of places Target would never dream of putting a store. Target is a company that tries to cater to it's niche. Walmart doesn't give a shit who shops in their stores.

There are upscale walmarts, there is one not far from my house in the fancy part of town.

Walmart seeks to crush everyone.

You're right.

I should have said that they attract the trashiest of the trash.

And yes, there are nice Wal-Marts in nice neighborhoods but those are the exception, not the rule.

Yeah that I agree with, they have a shit ton of stores out in the middle of nowhere or in the inner city that allows us to have "people of walmart."

That's how walmart was really able to gain hold of their place though. They were able to cash in on markets most stores avoid.

They try to go to fancy areas too, but they get run out of town a lot.

For what it's worth....

Here are some pics I took inside the best Walmart I've ever been in.......It was some kind of "test" store they built a few years ago......I was told they only built 5-10 as nice as this one. This one was in a pretty rich suburb of Dallas (either Plano or Frisco, can't remember)

THESE are the kind of wide-open aisles & sweet signage that EVERY Walmart should have.....




Check out their wine section....



And their produce.....

Walmart does all kinds of test stores that they try different things. They got some flat out just plain grocery stores, not all the other shit. They have the green signage like you see in your pics. They have just the regular walmart without the grocery side. And they got the supercenters with everything.

Hell we got the megacenter in sevierville, which was the biggest supercenter in the world, may not be anymore. It's redneck heaven.

Walmart has been trying to do a better job of adapting to the area they put their stores in to make them fit in.
