I have never not found what I needed in this Walmart. I have never been treated rudely either. But my reason for this average review, has more to do with the poor planning and location of this business. Anyone familiar with this area, remembers that there USED to be a perfectly fine Walmart, about one mile up the road. The parking lot was huge and roomy and the aisles in the store were large. Two people with carts coming and going, could do so with very little trouble. This current store is in a bad location, space wise. The parking is dreadful, meaning the lot is too small. I have been there very early in the morning and found really inadequate parking, then walked into the store and found hardly anyone there. The only thing I can think is that the employees cars take up much of the room. The aisles are very small, to the point of having to cut through the clothing area just to keep from colliding with someone. And getting out of the that tiny parking lot is a nightmare. I’m surprised there haven’t been more accidents. There is one other thing I have to say: the location of this Walmart is one where many, many businesses have failed before them. It’s almost like a store can’t stay in that particular spot for more than five years before closing up shop. It isn’t going to help this Walmart, when certain policies are put into place at this location, that are not at other ones. I am specifically referring to the Deli area. They do not cook or sell, rotisserie chickens on Sunday. I think when a business isn’t interesting in making a profit on a day, where in which that said product being sold, would make them quite a bit of money, something else is going on there. Something that will probably send customers to another location. There is new housing going up around this Walmart and other businesses as well. I just feel it would behoove them to try and extend the parking around there, if nothing else.

I come for the cheap insulin for my dog. Occasional groceries. Otherwise I don’t bother. Woodman’s is better for groceries. Amazon is better for everything else. I understand Walmart needs to be in this community but I wish its employees would try a little harder. Management is overworked and overwhelmed. Everyone is underpaid thus not paying much attention to details. In my latest visit my mother bought groceries and when she checked out she said to the clerk«Is that all the bags?» She said yes. Well we get home and sure enough they left out a bag of chips and three boxes of sugar cubes. So the next day we go back. It ends up taking 3 employees plus a 4th being trained to resolve the situation. The goods are gone. We had to go back and grab the items, come back to customer service and stand in line again. They finally solve it by giving us replacements but it takes 20 minutes. Lastly, I use an iPhone 5 with T-Mobile 4GLTE. This entire location is one big dead zone. I can walk around the building outside and get perfect coverage. I don’t have another carrier to test, but if other services don’t work, they’re implementing cell signal blockers. Normally this is done to stop employees from playing games and customers from price matching. It’s an issue because there’s no free wifi either. If I need to call 911 I have no way to do so. That’s bad. Think of a Walmart where nobody can hear you scream. Frightening.

This Walmart was fine for me. Came to this one for the first time with my gf to do some additional apartment shopping. We got everything we needed at great prices. To second another Unilocaler, there were multiple cops there. A few were parked in front, and a few others were in one of the parking aisles with their lights flashing. I think this is part of the area of Brown Deer that isn’t so hot, so for that reason alone, idk how often we’ll be coming back here, or frequenting the entire area for that matter. Nothing against the Walmart itself, just the neighborhood it’s located in.

VERYVERYVERY bad customer services and HORRIBLE security services. Just because it’s the only Walmart in Brown Deer people will eventually keep on going but as for me? No never again. Only if it’s a life and death situation. This location of Walmart is rude!

It’s a Walmart. Feels like they converted a Lowes into this store – oh wait, they did. Feels more like a big box home improvement store inside but full of clothes and other Walmart type stuff. The staff I encountered there were very friendly. One clerk even walked me to an item I was searching instead of just pointing. The check out clerk was friendly and made sure I found everything I needed. There must be something about this place that causes a dedicated Brown Deer Police presence. They even have a large special parking near the front entrance. There were three squads there when I was shopping.

Never again… Stopped in today to order a cake for my son’s 2nd birthday celebration. No one was in the bakery area to take my order. Two nice men did attempt to assist me by paging for help. That call went unanswered. Two women attempted to help, but did not know where the forms were, how to complete the order, etc. Then I was told a sign was posted that this Walmart location was not accepting orders at all this week for cake! My son’s party is on Saturday. I even asked if it could be ordered today and picked up on Wednesday. I was told no! Isn’t this Walmart? The blue and yellow caped superhero that goes out of its way to accommodate customers as much as it possibly can? I did not get that service today unfortunately. Furthermore, train your people to be cross-functional please. I know you have not been open long at this location, but get it together.

Why four stars? Because it’s new and shiny and everything is stocked where it should be! Also, because the lines aren’t too long and the cashiers often smiles. My advice– Go right now before the newly surfaced parking lot falls apart, and the new Walmart isn’t new anymore, and cashiers are bored and uninterested to even acknowledge your existence.
