Walmart is considering the site at 1701 South Kings Highway, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina 29577-4601, the southeast corner at the intersection of 17th Avenue South, for one of two additional Neighborhood Market stores in Myrtle Beach.
Walmart's full service meat department can be just as good or better than competitors if it is committed to quality and cleanliness.
I could see Food Lion #1468, Grand Stand Plaza, 1430 South Kings Highway, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina 29577-4509, struggling against Walmart Neighborhood Market.
It isn't where I'm from. There is no meat dpt. it comes off a truck and is thrown in a fridge for customers to grab. Comes in generic packaging for the most part and tastes funny. It's common knowledge here to buy everything but meat from WM.
I know Walmart Express, now branded as Walmart Neighborhood Market, did not have meat departments. Is that where you shopped?
If a supermarket is not going to have a full service meat department, then there is no point in constructing and opening it for business. Service departments are moneymakers that keep supermarkets in business.
They have fantastic selctions of weird food that my wife somehow likes (cheddar cheese ramen noodles? Yuck) and snack foods that are cheap. Plus their tv dinner selection is more varied than our local supermarket. But yes, the meat is rumored to be like treated or something here so it can stay out longer from what a worker told me. Gross. We made the mistake and purchased chicken from there and when fully cooked, it had a pinkish color to the meat and flaked like fish when you put a fork through it. Not like our real market chicken. And the taste was so odd.
