What a transformation this store has experienced in recent years! It bears little resemblance to the WalMart of Christmas Past. That WalMart featured a couple of aisles of food items, about a dozen cash register lines with most lines closed, and your typical choices of auto, outdoors, bedding, small appliances, and tightly packed apparel. The WalMart of Christmas Present has morphed into a Supercenter with only the parking lot resembling the years past. The most stunning changes can be found in the full service grocery section. Now I have to offer the caveat that I am not a WalMart grocery girl. That is to say, it isn’t a normal shopping stop. So this review will feature the section of the grocery that warms the heart of a Deep South native. The hot food section features a full selection of southern food choices. You can purchase individual items by the pound. Or choose a take-out plate consisting of a meat and two vegetables for well less than $ 5, including tax. The plate is filled with enough food to make two meals for even the hearty eater. The most wonderful smell pulls you in the direction of a delicacy not often found in this Mid Atlantic Region: Fried Okra! And you can get it every day. It’s warm and fresh, brought out for the lunch hour, about 11’ish. Can I name the ways you can supplement your luncheon plate with additional yummy southern fare? Ebenezer Scrooge can accuse me of frequenting up scale restaurants from coast to coast. But I’ll always eventually return to the sweet southern comfort food of the WalMart hot food bar.

I’ve been to this location minimal times, as this is a very small store. The customer service is terrible(like any Walmart lol). I only go here if absolutely necessary. They don’t carry anything but the bare minimum. However, its location is convenient for if you want to head to the mall or grab a bite to eat.

Tried to go Christmas shopping yesterday at this walmart. Every employee that i asked for assistance from was rude, unhelpful, and acting as though i was bothering them. Many employees were stocking items on the shelf, and they were extremely loud and unruly while doing so. It was a terrible shopping experience and did nothing but stress me out.

Overall, this is another one of the typical Walmarts here in Hampton Roads. A few years ago, this one was converted to a supercenter. I’ve been here quite a few times, along with the one in Red Mill. Staff are very friendly here and will help if needed. They do have a good assortment of items to select. The store, along with the restrooms, have always been clean with little to no issues. One thing to note about this Walmart is that they do not accept plastic bags for recycling. You have to go to another Walmart supercenter to do that. They should have them standard at all of their stores, whether or not it’s a supercenter. This location also has a Pretzel Factory located on the non-food end of the store, which is near the customer service desk. Here’s the reasons why this place only gets three stars from me. The item selection at this supercenter is not as great as the one in Red Mill and some other locations here. What I mean by item selection is that not as many brands are carried. When brands are carried, the flavors and other assorted options are not as diverse. One other reason for only three stars is the lack of cashiers available at the registers. For example, the store was packed tonight, but only had the self-checkout and only five or six staffed registers open, with none open at the non-food end of the store. The self-checkout line was backed up into the main rows of shopping and the lines with cashiers were also pretty backed up. Overall, this location will still get you what you need for the most part. I’d try to stick with non-peak times here though to avoid some of the headaches.

I called the Walmart«Super Center» to see if they had a magazine for a Smith & Wesson 40. … Let me transfer you… I ask again and they transfer me again. …I ask again and they say they have Winchester and something else… I said– no, I looking for the MAGAZINE, that holds the bullets for the pistol. He say those are not magazines… I say I know that, the question(4th time or fifth time?) was do you have the magazines. No we don’t. OMG, no wonder– someone would shoot the clerks for being incompetent. I guess Walmart can carry ammo, rifles and safes, but no pistols or accessories?

I love that this location is open 24 hours and always able to help. Although, I’ve found that some of their prices have gone up, and they force you to buy in large quantities for the best price. They must be taking notes from Sam’s club :-)

We drove an extra few miles for this super Walmart and I would not agree that it’s a super center. It was very sparse in just about everything. They had very few items for the beach. Had to settle for two thin towels — no flip flops, hardly any tees, no big men clothes, hardly anything. That seemed true for most of their departments.

Open 24⁄7 with a wide selection of fresh organic and conventional produce, reduced sodium organic non GMO Amy’s lentils and vegetables soup, non GMO Reese’s artichoke hearts, large selection of vitamins, grains, etc. The healthiest protein bar available is the Think thin chocolate brownie. — Women’s clothes: Clean fitting rooms with large mirror inside held by friendly associates, $ 12.96 Danskin now all black semi-fitted cotton stretch petite pant(90% cotton, 10% spandex) in XS would be great to run errands, etc. Active wear pants should have at least 8% spandex to be flattering and keep their shapes overtime. This Walmart didn’t have permanent round color coding labels(¼ inch) and all black waist band bags. Entry-level yoga mats 3 millimeters weren’t available in dark colors. Thus, you had to pay at least $ 14.84 to get a yoga mat 5 millimeters in a dark hue. The produce department has often some out of stock products(3 lbs. bag of red delicious) … The store was clean and well-organized. The staff was friendly and customer-oriented, the restrooms were clean, the check-out has been consistently fast, easy and fast return for unused articles with receipts… It was easy and free to park in the well-lit and free parking at night.

I shop here very often. i have to say, the lines can be frustrating and the cashiers aren’t always friendly. but I normally find most of the things that I want to purchase for a good price.

Management does not manage the lines very well, they are often long and I have yet to use self checkout without having problems with the scanners. To my surprise, on three different occasions, they were completely out of basic things like green chilies and corn tortillas? These are basic foods! If you are out then people are buying, stock correctly!

Cleaner and brighter than most Wal-Marts, this one was rather empty on a weekday morning when I popped in and took a look through the ammunition cabinet. Lots and lots of some things, mostly shotgun rounds. Not much — in fact, none — of what I wanted, mostly 9 mm and .380. Oh well — this is the new normal. The rest of the store seemed well stocked and there were quite a few associates stocking shelves and walking about. No line at the register.

I shop at a few different stores for my grocery and household needs. I’m not always at this Walmart because it is a little further away from me than some of the more expensive stores. The prices here are great on most items, in the beauty and foods section in particular. What draws me back here the most is that this Walmart location carries 3 items that I am very fond of and cannot seem to find anywhere else… not even at Walmart locations in other cities. So I keep coming back… crossing my fingers that what I want is in stock.

The last resort when going to get eggs, bread, and milk. The customer service is lacking, quality of produce and vegetables is very low also. To top it off, the«bagger» put cans on top of my eggs!!! Isn’t that the 1st rule you learn being a bagger?!?

I thought I would NEVER leave a positive review for WalMart… EVER! I’ve been to so many throughout the United States, and this is by far my favorite. Less than 2 years ago, this was not a Super WalMart, which was fine because if you were not grocery shopping, it was a quick in and out. When they began renovations to turn in into a Super Center, I thought that was a boneheaded mistake. I was completely wrong, as this store stays clean, the Customer Service and cashier actually provide… CUSTOMERSERVICE! If they have a long lines, they have the good since to(you guessed it) OPENANOTHERLANE! I have never had an issue here and this will be my WalMart of choice in Hampton Roads. How dare this WalMart go against all others and actually assist their customers to check out quickly? Shame on you!

First off, whoever designed the layout in this place was either drunk, stoned beyond stoned or had some serious issues. This is the worst layout I have ever seen in any store. WTH were they thinking??? That aside, they have the typical things a Walmart would have. The staff was polite as I needed to ask two different people questions and they were knowledgeable and gave me the help I needed. That alone kept it at three stars because the layout of this place made me want to lean towards two stars!

This review is for their craft center. They have a wide selection of craft materials and tools. I can always find something to buy here. The department is clean and organized and there’s always someone there to cut you fabric/ribbon. I find this store more enjoyable overall. It’s clean and organized and the staff seems more helpful. **no food department here
