Don't Walmart sell fruit and vegetables?

The British supermarket they bought, Asda, is the cheapest major supermarket in the UK and it certainly sells fresh fruit and veg.

It's not fantastic quality, but it's very cheap.

yes, walmart is one of the largest us grocers. the issue is that walmart is not in many areas despite being in a much larger footprint than TJs. traders joes, on the other hand, is only in ABC1 demos in the US which means its an upper/middle class niche biz. While wallmart is much more avail than TJ it is still limited to Interstate corridors, which is another form of premium real estate. That link is sort of important to think about. Also, wall mart does not have cheap meat for the most part and its fresh produce is mid-tier pricing. More expensive than say, Aldi.
