Continuing its trend of opening more smallish Walmart Express stores and hoping to buck a two-year-long sales slump, Walmart confirmed plans to go crazy building its Mini-Mes. The company, which already has opened 185 of the stores, hopes to add as many as 100 more by January.
MSN calls Walmart Express the company's answer to dollar stores that have managed to pry frugal customers out of its aisles during the economic downturn. The stores offer basic groceries, a pharmacy, gas and check cashing.
If you've shopped at a Walmart Express, what do you think about the concept? And where do you do most of your grocery shopping these days?

In a word. No. Same store sales have dropped(I believe) 8 consecutive quarters. Wal-Mart is a place I avoid, and at most go to once every 4-5 months.
I go to Walmart all the time. I can't afford to shop at stores like Giant.
walmart is putting up record numbers internationally... its because of strong shareholders and top level board
