Apex Super Walmart

The super walmart opened, less than a mile from my house, this week. I went for the first time today, and the parking lot was packed when I arrived at 10:30 am today (Friday). It's not as pretty as the Holly Springs Super Walmart ... the Apex store has grey concrete floors, and the HS one has brown concrete floors, which gives it a more trendy look. Apex Walmart was very clean, so far. The HS one has been very clean for over two years, as compared to the Cary regular Walmart which is a dump. I hope they keep this one nice, it certainly had all the unique grocery items that I have to go to Harris Teeter and Lowe's to find. They had several organics, but I forgot to check for the organic Chocolate Chip Waffles we get a Whole Foods. I'll have to try the meats, too, to see if they are any good. The did have the pet floor cleaner for the Spot Bot, Indiana Popcorn Kettle Corn, strawberry bagels, and chipotle chilies in adobo sauce (which I couldn't find in any of the regular grocery stores. Now Harris Teeter is offering Boar's Head deli meats, at the same prices as Kroger and Lowes, so I can go anywhere for them. Of course, Walmart carries most of it's Good Value Brand, so we'll have to try some of it to see if it's worth the change.

My favorite things at the new Super Walmart:
1. Back wall of the McDonalds is a picture mural of downtown Apex, and includes a picture of our church!
2. 28 cents a pound for bananas
3. Acai juice in 5 different varieties!!
4. Silk Soymilk for $3 / half gallon
5. Same price as BJs for eggs, OJ, TP (a little bit higher than BJs for Legos)
6. Lots of variety of salad, veggies, fruits, yogurt, cereal

The one thing they could change:
1. Make the employees who smoke go out BACK of the store to smoke, rather than standing next to the front door - YUCK.

I didn't check out the other sections of the store today - spent an hour and a half in the grocery side. I think this store is nearly as big as Wegman's in Johnson City, NY. That's still, and I think always will be, my #1 favorite grocery store.
