“The entire staff treats us like family every time we enter the door. They have a great selection of food including fried chicken, pizza, hot subs, and breakfast items. They also have a great selection of beer with their walk in cooler.”
“Friendly service, a little bit of everything there, open late for when you need something last minute. Prices can be a little exqpensive, depending on what it is but that's what you pay for having just everything need!”
“It's a good store. They don't pay them enough for all they have to do & the hours they put in, cleaning everything, stocking & lifting & doing this every shift, opening & closing for barely over minimum wage & this store has gotten robbed at gunpoint 2 or 3 times in the last 5-7 years, with 2 of those times being due to our economy & this pandemic recently! They do tend to keep their employees for a good year or two & then they kind'of filter thru a couple cycles until they get another batch of good ones that last a year or two again! I only know this bcuz I've lived right down the road from this store for the last 10+ years & in Dalzell for 20+ so I've seen it go thru it's transitions!The worst has been what we're seeing now & what most stores are dealing with, trying to keep the products on the shelf that everyone wants all week before they sell out & not have empty shelves, but unfortunately they do by the end of each week on most sale items, like almost every store in town! But the staff are pleasant & the store is clean & if you need something they're very happy to help you, at least I've always had excellent response from all of them there, even if they're not always smiling, they're always obliged to be helpful! And that matters! They do a good a good job considering what we're all going through, including them!”

Behind the scenes, the service leans on Walmart's store network and an algorithm that factors in order size, available drivers, and distance from the store.
