    I travel all over for work, and often dive into Walmarts for quick replenishment of supplies, and they vary widely. Some are nicer, like this one (oh yeah, this is about as good as they get), but some are all beat up, with really messed up floors.

    Depending on where you are, some have a lot of stuff locked up in lucite boxes.

    But yeah, it’s Walmart, they suck.

    Our Walmart had the tile floor, and choose to remove it to expose the raw concrete during a remodel.

    You had me zooming in looking for something. Like others have said, this is the “passing the savings along to you” look.

    Target is a little more lively with an actual ceiling and brighter color scheme, but it’s really the same thing with a little extra polish.

    This is a Giant Supermarket. Same overall feel as the Walmart, but slightly less warehouse like to make things look more appetizing.

    Aldi has done a pretty good job of remodeling. It’s a value brand store where just about everything is store label, and it used to look rougher than Walmart. Now it’s become almost trendy and chic, but prices are still good. Makes the others really look like penny pinchers.

    A large part of it is probably stores are so big making it nice would be “cost prohibitive” since they’d require more cleaning and maintenance.

        I’m really questioning that myself. I’ve been to all the stores I posted and they’ve always been fine.

        I just looked up a Tesco and a Carrefour from Europe and they look about the same as the US stores, so I’m wondering where OP lives where box stores are beautiful.
