Walmart Neighborhood Market

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while loading groceries into his car, a regular noticed something strange: every time he passed the Walmart Neighborhood Market, a faint but distinct sound of old-time radio music seemed to follow him home. Curious, he mentioned it to a neighbor who laughed and said, ‘That’s no coincidence—you’re just picking up the store’s vintage radio broadcasts from the 50s they play in the produce section.’ The regular shook his head with a smile, realizing that sometimes life is stranger than fiction.

2. In the chilly pre-dawn hours, an early bird delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock. As he unloaded boxes, his dog, usually oblivious to mundane tasks, suddenly perked up and stared intently at one particular crate. The driver shrugged it off until, moments later, a familiar voice called out from behind him: 'Hey, did you know they deliver live chickens here now?' The driver turned around to see none other than Mr. Johnson, their elderly neighbor, grinning mischievously. ‘Just thought you should know,’ he winked, ‘next time maybe bring your own basket!’ And with that, he walked away, leaving everyone in stitches.

3. In the middle of a routine shopping trip, a regular heard something unusual over the store’s PA system: ‘Attention, neighbors—your Walmart Neighborhood Market has just run out of cheeseburgers! Please come back later for your fix.’ A delivery driver, hearing the announcement, pulled up in his truck and asked the manager, 'Did you mean to say “cheese”burgers?' The manager shook his head, laughing. A few minutes later, another voice crackled over the intercom: ‘And we’re now out of milkshakes—please return when restocked.’

4. At closing time one night, a cashier locked up and headed home. Walking past the empty shelves, she swore she saw a shadowy figure pushing a full shopping cart. Curious, she turned around—but the aisles were empty. The next morning, everyone joked that it must’ve been a delivery driver playing a prank. However, when she checked her surveillance footage, there was no one there except for a stray cat pushing an old shopping basket filled with cans of tuna.
