Walmart | Eddystone, PA

 

1570 Chester Pike

Welcome to the Eddystone Walmart!

We're back in Eddystone on The Retail Connection. On today's post, we'll be taking a quick tour of the Walmart in Eddystone, PA. This store opened on January 24, 2001 as the anchor to the shopping center. It is located next to a ShopRite which we toured in January. This store has the Project Impact 4.0 décor inside. The photo above is from January, while the rest were taken today. Let's step inside!

Past the foyer, we can see Customer Service and Money Services along the left wall.

This store's dining options are Subway and Auntie Anne's. This may have originally been a snack bar or Radio Grill. I doubt it was a McDonald's since they're in the parking lot.

Menswear, boys wear, and baby products take up the left part of the store. The women's section is closer to the front, across from the checkouts.

You can't see it here (it's pretty hard to see even in-person), but there are names of retired associates on the blue tiles in this photo. I thought that was interesting. I've never seen a Walmart have that before.

This store does still have a photo center, but there wasn't anybody working it and it's kind of hidden away in the back of the store. I doubt there are that many people still developing their photos, anyway.

The back right corner is taken up by sporting goods and the auto center. The next closest Walmart Auto Care Center is on Roosevelt Boulevard in Philadelphia; nearby stores in Glenolden and Springfield don't have one.

And here's a quick look at the grocery aisles. This location is a Division 1 store, which essentially just means it doesn't have the grocery service departments a Supercenter has. I don't see this location ever becoming a Supercenter unless they move to a new store or ShopRite closes. They still have a pretty decently sized grocery section, though.

Here's the grand grocery aisle, with packaged meats, seafood, and baked goods, as well as fresh produce. All this store is really missing is a service bakery and deli.

Pharmacy and HABA are along the front, next to the checkout lanes.

And we close out this tour with a wide shot of the store. The weather was definitely much nicer back on January 1...
