This is the closest Walmart to the house, but beware, they do not have cold food there. It has the living, shopping stuff you may need, but don't expect to buy food there. They have very basic boxed, canned, and snack foods, but very limited options. At one time, and for a long time, this was supposedly the smallest Walmart in the country!
