America's cathedral of retail therapy/Everyday Places
A typical Walmart Supercenter spans about 16,700 square meters of retail floor space -- roughly the size of three American football fields. These stores carry around 120,000 different items and serve about 37 million customers per week across all US locations. The sheer scale means employees sometimes use roller skates, which is either efficient or terrifying depending on the aisle.
