Specialty Shopping,
we all know about it, many do it
Asian markets, New Tokyo Food Market.
and Jewish markets, Segals Kosher Market.
some go to german markets, Deutsches Eck German Deli-Market,
the french have them also, Vincent's French Market Bistro. Even Italians do: Calabria Italian Grocery & Deli - Phoenix AZ
Here in Phoenix Ranch Market is our favorite little local Mexican market we go there often and buy fresh made tortillas from the Tortilleria their old fashion tortilla factory right in the store. We buy fresh fruit straight from mexico. We love our local Mexican market.
{all the stores mentioned above are real stores in the phoenix area}
so tell me.. why am i having such a problem with this store..
Supermercado de Wal-Mart
so far Walmart has opened 2 supermarkets targeting Hispanic consumers in 1 in Arizona and 1 in Texas
I haven't climbed on the Walmart band wagon with these stores yet.
Whey will also be opening a Sams clubs called "Mas Club" in Houston Texas some time later this year.
I guess I shouldn't be so surprise in a area so populated with hispanics.. but still.
I always have been afraid of Walmart.
very afraid.

Okay, this might be politically incorrect so don't be hatin.
We go to Cancun about every other year. Time before last, we went to the NEW Wal-mart. And since we refer to ours here at home as the Mexi-Mart, we have ridiculous pictures of us posing in front of the "REAL" Mexi-Mart.
Our Mexican family friend who lives there and takes us around laughed his behind off, so at least it didn't offend him! : )

For 7 years of our married life my hubby worked for a chain grocery store and so we were very loyal to the "union" of not going anywhere near Walmart. Then the Southern Cal strike happened. I was just about to give birth to matty! So we were pretty much screwed over at that point. Then life happened and having money to buy groceries for us was a luxury. So when we moved to Utah 3 years ago we started and have continued to shop there. I wish we wouldnt but we are so used to there prices that it is hard for us to spend more on something that is cheaper there. UGH!! We really love Maceys and do our emergency shopping there. Also when they have good sales. So after all that. I understand where you are coming from and when we have more money for groceries we will not be shopping at Walmart. Make a stand. DO it for me too!! Love ya

in Vegas we LOVED Sams Club...it was convenient...right next door to a Super Wal-Mart and they had gas there too...we were seriously there at least 4 times a week....I never thought i could live with out their conveniences....
....now in NY...Wal-mart is 35 minutes away and gross....I love how we buy local now and support the local grocer.
(I do still get star-struck when we visit our friends in West Virgina and go to the shiny new Super Wal-mart....but that is only once a year!

We call Walmart "Wally World" In our area, Walmart employs over 4,000 people total in all the stores. In this economy, a job helps support a family.
If you live and work in America, learn English !
