| - Sam Walton's dream is alive and well in the heart of Calgary's 'deep south' on 130th Ave. This Walmart location provides the best at the nexus of price, quality, service and selection. Whether your are shopping for groceries, clothes, pharmacy or electronics, as the saying goes, Walmart helps you save money and live better!
Having moved to Calgary from the slightly warmer climes of Southwestern Ontario, I was looking for somewhat more rugged jeans with thicker denim that would complement the more frigid Alberta temperatures. The staff member was able to help me find an inexpensive pair of Rustler jeans (that are made by Wrangler) that were just the right size (and she even opened up a fitting room for me to try them on to make sure). I picked up an extra pair. Why? The jeans were only $13.88 a pair! I was also able to pick up some cheese (which at 2 x 500g bars for only $10 was a pretty low price for Calgary), and with the same brands we had back home in Ontario. I was also able to pick up some pills for my wife at the pharmacy and a cable for my iPad, all in the same place, for prices lower than the competition and all with the quality and selection that we have come to know and love from Walmart.
I know it is trendy to hate Walmart, but you should really take a look at the value of shopping here. From the friendly greeters that welcome you at the beginning of your visit, to the helpful staff members that can help you find what you are looking for, to the cheerful cashiers that can ring up your completed order and actually give you free plastic bags (instead of nickel and diming you for one or two), Walmart continues to be the leader in retail in Canada... and it shows!
