Upscale Walmart?

[Promomx2]

Has anyone been to an "upscale Walmart"? They're building one near our house. It' supposed to sell Tommy Hilifeger and other upscale brands. I've been to a few state but never seen or heard of this.

I've heard of something along that lines, but didn't hear that it sold things like Tommy. They've been fighting putting a Walmart in about a half mile from me. But I had heard that it wasn't a typical Walmart it was an upscale one. Which is good since they are putting it smack dab next to 400K+ homes. I heard that they have one or two of them built (I think maybe California). It is suppose to have like a bistro in it. Who knows? Maybe just rumors.

Tommy Hilfiger an "upscale" brand?

That's a new one. Maybe in 1998, but today? Can't you buy Tommy at JC Penny even?

My thoughts EXACTLY!!. I despise our local walmart and throw a fit when I do have to go in there. Their chicken salad is the only that my ds will eat, long story. And the new one is less than a mile and I am sooo dreading it opening.

Plus now were'e going to be in the line of the tornado, when it hits the walmart.

I haven't heard of this.

But I will say our Walmart is very nice! The freezers are all brand new with LED lighting that shuts off automatically and lights up as you walk down the aisle. Also the clothing area has wood floors and nicer displays. Also the household goods area has the wood floor and good merchandising.

I think this is what they mean by "upscale." I don't think they would sell Tommy clothing at just a few stores and that's not really an upscale brand any more.

According to a Forbes article http://www.forbes.com/2006/08/30/walmart-goes-upscale-cx_tvr_0830walmart.html
Walmart is just adding upscale products in test markets, to see how well they do. It does not mention clothing, but organic foods, plasma tvs, name brand applainces, ect...
