The exterior has a more plain and barren look than the other Neighborhood Market stores I've visited in Tucson. (I go to the store at 22nd and Craycroft most every week and I've visited four of the stores in the Tucson area, so I know the Neighborhood Markets well). The interior of the store has the same barren feel inside as well. They've done a product arrangement in the store that is a bit different than the other stores. There is no in-store deli counter, for example.
The store wasn't busy when we went at about 8 p.m. tonight. Of course, just like every Walmart on the planet, the checkout lines are unbelievably slow. It was especially annoying considering that there was a light amount of customers in the store. The associate who was running the checkout we were in seemed to have almost no idea how to run the cash register and struggled with anything besides running products over the scanner. Speed at the checkout seems to be an issue that Walmart as a corporation has no interest in improving. Never plan on going there if you're in a hurry.
This store was okay but not as cool as the Craycroft, Oracle, Valencia and Grant Road stores. They had my favorite potato salad. But, they don't have individually wrapped breakfast pastries like they do at the other Neighborhood Market stores in Tucson. That's an item I buy every week so I can slam a bite of breakfast in my office to start the day. Hopefully they realize they forgot that item and add it to their shelves somewhere.
