This Walmart consistently offers a solid shopping experience with friendly staff, good deals, and a wide variety of products. They keep produce well rotated, offer lots of gluten‑free options, and maintain a great selection overall. The staff and customer service are always friendly, helpful, and great with kids. The bathrooms are usually well kept, and I appreciate the handicap‑accessible sink in the back — perfect for helping toddlers practice independence. Their pickup service is quick, easy, and reliable, and the pickup team is always kind (plus they give great compliments to my pup). The clearance deals are fantastic! I’ve found some great items, including a $40 air fryer. There are a couple of frustrations. The three‑seat children’s carts are never in a consistent spot and often end up outside on the cement pad near Lawn & Garden, which is super inconvenient for parents with littles. And despite having tons of checkout lanes, only a few are ever open. I prefer using a cashier, but it feels like a 50/50 chance whether one is available. Overall, it’s a dependable store with great staff, good selection, and plenty of deals — a solid 4 out of 5.

A pretty run of the mill Walmart. I shop here pretty often and they do a good job of stocking and helping customers. Not much else to say really. It'd be nice if there was an attached Subway or something.
Margarita a garden center employee is just the best. Always friendly and helpful and always puts a smile on my face.
Doesn’t have tap to pay in 2026, a tech that came out in 2022 and is in pretty much every terminal in the United States. If you forget your credit card good luck, if you like having your card skimmed come here, they certainly encourage it by not having tap to pay. FYI Bulgaria has widely accepted tap to pay faster than this Walmart location…
Walmart is such a store that is a blessing for a neighbor. This is the city of students who are studying at iOS State University, and they need their necessary groceries and all items. One thing I noticed that they don’t have enough Mediterranean or the Helal products like halal meat Specially beef, lamb, and chicken so easily they can keep it for the sake of Helal seeker people and also they should add more and more stuff like the groceries like Porrata and so many stuff needed by people and there are so many Asian people are living around this place
