You do realize that the only way YOU will not get old is to go ahead and die. So do you plan on a certain age to kill yourself or what.

Scummy thieves stopped 24/7 Walmart.

What I don't understand is if it was profitable before Covid, why is it not profitable now?

Isn’t that one of the largest stores in the chain at over 200,000 square feet?
I stopped there once for tires. I had a blowout Saturday night and needed a new tire on a Sunday morning. Spent a few hours aimlessly walking the store.
Wish they had 24/7 tire places or heck oil change places too.

Truly aberrant phrasing.

Well I put the pen to paper measured the store using Google Earth. It is over 262,000 square feet. Not including the outdoor garden section.
That puts it close to the reportedly world’s largest that is over 260,000 square feet on two levels on a hill in Albany, New York. That store in New York started as a Walmart and a Sam’s Club on two different levels. When Sam’s couldn’t complete, they merged the two buildings into one massive store.

Covid killed a lot of late night hours. They all stopped it during covid and never started it back up.

Crime rates are so low, stores are afraid to stay open at night and they lock up toiletries behind plexiglass.

I wish Home Depot or Lowe’s was open 24/7.

I remember when Walmart in Ellick was 24/7. It was awesome being able to grab something.

All it will take is some egghead coder to show that it can increase profits by .350% and some C level executive will run it up the chain for the CEO to steal it as a good idea. Once one of the big 2 do it, the other will follow. I think both home improvement stores are open identical hours. Heck I can even see a commercial where a pipe breaks at 2 am or a lumber emergency in the wee hours of the morning HD or Lowe’s has your back with locations open 24 hours. Most of the big box retailers are 24 hour operations with overnight stockers manning the store or cleaning the floors. It might take 2-3 people extra an hour to run the checkouts.
If I recall correctly, one of the first grocery stores to stay open 24 hours was Delchamps. Walmart tried to follow their model or mimic their grocery model when they started adding supercenters in southeast Louisiana. Delchamps was sometimes colocated in the same shopping center as older Walmart or Kmart locations before Walmart decided to get into their own real estate game to seek out newer up and coming areas to expand and build these massive super centers.
See Houma Walmart on MLK, there was nothing on MLK when the road first opened as the Tunnel Extension. But once Walmart built a new store there and then added Groceries a few years later, boom the gold rush was on to build more big box stores until leveling off in 2010s. My favorite was Lowe’s, they built a store, and after opening it, they realized it was too small. Instead or expanding, they built an entirely new store next door while the old store sat vacant for years if not a decade until Ashley Furniture moved in. There were even rumblings that Brookshires wanted to invade Rouses home turf and covert that old Lowe’s into a Super1Foods before Ashley ended up purchasing it.
I am waiting for Whole Foods, Costco, or Trader Joe’s to popup in Houma or Thibodaux next, or even an Amazon delivery station. That would expand delivery services in the Bayou area to Amazon delivery instead of the postal service.

Covid changed Walmart. Crime changed the convenient/smaller places.

Today I learned that Walmart is not open 24/7.
I don’t ever need it at those hours, but thought it was available.
