What is the name of Walmart's smaller grocery-focused store format?

Walmart’s smaller, grocery-focused store format is called Walmart Neighborhood Market.

The format was created for customers who wanted a more convenient supermarket-style shopping trip than a large Walmart Supercenter provided. Neighborhood Market stores concentrate on groceries, fresh produce, household essentials, pharmacy services and everyday consumables rather than offering the extremely broad general-merchandise selection associated with a Supercenter.

The name is easy to confuse with Walmart’s other formats. A Walmart Supercenter combines a full grocery department with extensive general merchandise, while a traditional Walmart discount store emphasizes general merchandise and carries a smaller grocery selection. Walmart Express was a separate small-store experiment, not the enduring name of the company’s main grocery-focused format.

Neighborhood Market locations are generally smaller and are intended to fit into urban areas, residential neighborhoods and other places where a full-size Supercenter may not be practical. The concept therefore reflects Walmart’s effort to bring its grocery business closer to shoppers while maintaining its low-price positioning.
