Walmart plans to open a store on Lower Greenville, in the old Whole Foods building, just one block from the site of a planned Trader Joe’s. Jeff Siegel mentioned this possibility a few weeks ago in his analysis of Trader Joe’s location pick, and Unfair Park broke the news this morning.
The new Walmart will comprise about 34,000 square feet, some 10,000 square feet smaller than a typical Walmart store. That indicates Walmart could be planning one of its Neighborhood Market stores.
This analysis in Forbes from October offers a picture of Walmart’s smaller format stores.
