Wal-mart has opened the first of a sort of "fancy" version of its Super Center line of stores in Plano, TX. This store is about 2 miles from where we live, so I went and took some pictures so other people might be able to have a look.

The aisles are wider, large enough for almost 3 carts next to each other I'd say. The book section is almost like a mini Barnes & Noble, minus the comfy reading chairs. The home section is like a mini Bed, Bath & Beyond, with a lot of nice stuff in real displays instead of just stacks of boxes. There is no fabric section, and the electronics section is larger than I'm used to seeing in a wal-mart.

The wine/beer section is apparently quite extensive, which isn't hard to believe once you see the Black Star Dom Perignon for sale for $145. But that's not the most expensive bottle they have. I think I found it though, it's $557 La MonDotte, and they had two bottles just sitting out in a typical wooden wine display rack.

There is also a coffee cafe, and a nice deli section. Even though today was their first day open, I still saw an item with the red clearance/discontinued sticker. And then there's the bottle of wine in with the vacuum cleaners. I guess some things never change.
