Yes that's the source of the Wally-World link, the Chevy Chase movie.  But,
it fits quite nicely with the Wal-Mart "Superstore", where they
have just about everything you could want, all under one roof.  Full
grocery store, department store, auto supply store, tire store, auto
maint., garden supply, pharmacy (with drive up service via pneumatic
tubes), eye glasses, hair solon, photo studio, and some are now getting
walk in medical clinics.  Sort of like a "World unto itself", the
only place you need to go.  You can go from the grocery area right into the
main store, grab your clothes, pick up your prescriptions, all while having
the oil changed, tires rotated, and a new set of eye glasses made.  Most
are also open 24/7, only closed on super major holidays of Christmas and
Easter.  I believe they're open on New Years Day, they were open on
Thanksgiving day here.

The parking lot has the lanes significantly smaller in width, so they can
get more spaces in the given lot size.
