"Your local Walmart Supercenter is already a spectacle. Each one stands at an average of 178,000 square feet, and their spacious aisles are filled with everything you could possibly need from groceries to clothes to electronics. They're so massive that they can even host garden centers, pharmacies, hair salons, and fast food restaurants like Wienerschnitzels, functioning more like a mini mall than a grocery store. Now imagine something of this size, scaled up by another 40%. The final boss of Wally Worlds."
"America's largest grocery store chain's largest U.S. location is situated in Albany, New York. It weighs in at a total of 260,000 square feet, making it just over 46% larger than your average Walmart Supercenter. It doesn't just stretch outwards forever and ever, either. It was able to achieve its weighty status by growing vertically and spanning out across two separate floors. It is one of the very few Walmart locations to operate on multiple levels."
Walmart Supercenters average roughly 178,000 square feet and commonly include groceries, clothing, electronics, garden centers, pharmacies, salons, and fast food outlets, functioning like mini-malls. The largest U.S. Walmart location sits in Albany, New York, at 260,000 square feet—about 46% larger than the average—and operates on two floors. The store opened in 1994 as a single-floor Division 1 location focused on general merchandise with limited dry groceries. A downstairs Sam's Club occupied the lower level until 2008; after Sam's Club closed, Walmart expanded downward, turning the lower level into grocery space, keeping electronics, automotive, apparel, toys, and a garden center upstairs. A central opening connects both floors.
