Walmart Supercenter

As a New Orleans native who grew up in New Orleans East I have seen the steady decrease in businesses even before Hurricaine Katrina. As New Orleans East continues revitalization projects, adding a Wal-​Mart Super center is an asset to this community that offers suitable employment and allows money to stay in Orleans Parish.
Wal-​Mart is conveniently located off of I-​10 at the Bullard Avenue exit. There is a large parking lot to accommodate high traffic volume during peak hours, easy access to RTA (Regional Transit Authority) for those who lack personal transportation, and has several fast food restaurants in the area.
I have been to several Wal-​Mart stores around the country and this Bullard location has the most ANTI-​THEFT locks on their products that I have ever seen for instance; perfume and cologne (forget about samples or taking advantage of this aisle before hitting the club or a hot date), condoms, at-​home pregnancy tests, selected razors and cartridges, electronics, and other high-​end merchandise. Surveillance cameras are visible in every department and on certain aisles with live recording in progress.
Security guards & NOPD patrol cars were seen in the store and parking lot. I appreciate the efforts in keeping the patrons feeling safe and prices low.
The employees try to keep the property maintained by regularly attending to the restrooms, tidying up the departments throughout the day, and making sure the shopping carts are collected from the parking lot. Many of the employees greeted me as I passed. Nevertheless a great place for the One-​Stop-​Shop in the East!

Walmart has such a reputation these days… especially, this location. However, I was very impressed with the outstanding customer service I received. Not only did the crew go over and beyond helping me, they each stopped working in their department to help me locate the product, and that I was totally satisfied before checking out. Great job guys!

This is a usual Walmart… Low price, no frills, long lines, etc. Optic center is a joke, hour wait poor care… Walmart as usual

It’s good to have a Walmart in the east but it sucks that it closes At 10 we can’t even get midnight! It’s a typical Walmart, not as ghetto as tchop location but it has its moments. I sometimes just drive to the chalmette location…

I went to this walmart the other day with a friend of mine and the service behind the deli counter was incredible. Ms. Etta had us laughing & smiling the entire time as she shaved our ham and turkey. She made us all forget about the bad day previously to our walmart visit. I never before in my life had a more enjoyable visit to walmarts deli department. I hope all is well with Ms. Etta and that she never changes. We will be back! Great & Unforgettable service.

Decent store area. But the selection is poor compared to any other walmart in the area. And it suffers from the new orleans curse of poor customer service and rude employees.

The store is kept nicely stocked and clean, however the lines are always long and one of the cashiers was so rude!

I remember when Wal-​Mart had the BEST customer service EVER. The person at the door was actually hired to be a greeter. To ensure you guys get back there, I would like to Recommend one on one training classes for Villere (assist manager over hardware). Villere does not have people skills nor does Villere have customer service skills that Wal-​Mart is known to have. I requested the help of a manager, Villere came to assist, but came out with BOTH hands placed on his hips (body language says a lot), never did he acknowledge us, we had to walk up to him to get him to for him to assist us.
The shelves were nicely stacks, the store is still really clean, so Thank You Wal-​Mart for coming to The East.
Just have a talk with Villere & coach him in the right direction. ;)

A brand new Walmart with a Garden Center, Optical and groceries? The Residents of New Orleans East (myself included) are pleased to finally have this convenience. The location on Bullard is also an improvement when compared to the old location next to Bunker Hill 0_​_​o
The overall order of this location is impressive: items re-​shelved to uniform, empty spaces restocked, shopping carts collected and restored, staff being proactive «How can I help you?».
Keep it up!

Upon my entrance from the service road, I was greeted with a familiar image… Elsie the Cow… #howiLOVEher… she’s a familiar part of my childhood and although lactose-​intolerant, I still enjoy the memories invoked by the mere sight of her.
Ok, nostalgia over, on to the review…
I was/​am pleased as pie that this location has opened, as I am no longer forced to drive 5 miles to the nearby R*uses or the down right dirty, filthy, W*nn D*xie… I can casually drive to NEW ORLEANS EAST & gather a few items (or more than a few, as always is the case).
New to the area, Post-​K, this WalMart is great for revitalization of the area, the economy & rebounding of the WalMart brand in this area. All in all, GREAT GREAT GREAT!!! Happy am I !!!
I love the placement of departments in this location, makes it seem more spacious. The bakery department looks like a little «city» of breads, cupcakes & muffins… How cool!!! And the produce is set up like a farmer’s market… Hellllllo #melovesitlikethis… and lest I forget to mention the Alcohol section… go in grab a thing or two & blaze out; there’s even a register in there so you don’t have to go through a regular check-​out line & wait for the cashier to walk to the counter, request your adult beverage & journey back… ehhhhhhhhhhh #imoveritdotcom
Clothing in the middle, food to the left, electronics in the rear & non-​perishables to the right… makes for an easier transition while shopping… go to the right pick up your deodorant, toothpaste and the like; then head to the rear grab a CD or two; then off to the food & frozen items & you’re register to check out… Well at least, that’s my approach.
I am also excited that most of the cashier lanes actually have a HAVE A CASHIER that occupy them… helllllo no long waiting involved.
Only downfall, as there’s pretty much always one… is the pricing… Seeeeeeeeeems to me, this WalMart is a little more pricey than others in New Orleans & Metairie. Maybe this is due to the cost of new construction… Maybe in a few months we’ll see some price dropping… Maybe, Maybe, Maybe… BUT until such a time as this, I will be coupon carrying & price matching my little WalMart shopping butt off…

At Last!!!
Walmart Inc. has finally joined the new orleans east area with a spankin’ brand new store! I must admit I wasn’t impressed when I initially heard they were adding a location to our area but after watching how this store added value to the neighborhood, I became increasingly excited. The store had an official grand opening with spotlights, news reporters, et cetera. The staff was über friendly and the store was packed with locals. The aisles were busy and checkout lines were long but the staff was efficient with handling the crowds. The shelves were emptying quickly and the staff was quickly filling them.
This location can be compared mostly to the jefferson hwy. store with the set up. A unique find: Subway on site! Very impressive!
The upper nineth ward neighborhoods are buzzin’ and it’s official! New Orleans East is moving forward. More jobs plus closer ways to buy equals a thriving economy. A local barber stated he’s been getting more walk-in’s than ever and Im sure he’s not the only person feeling the boost.
I’m hopeful for a future target, an upscale restaurant and movie theatre with a dollar store/​family dollar moratoreum creation.
