Hypermart USA

Hypermart USA (also labeled as Walmart's Hypermart USA following 1990) was a demonstrator project operated by Walmart in the 1980s and 1990s, which attempted to combine groceries and general merchandise under one roof at a substantial discount. The hypermart concept was modeled after earlier efforts from other retailers, notably French retailers such as Auchan and Carrefour, and the Midwestern big retailer Meijer. At it's peak Hypermart USA had 4 locations. 2 located in Texas, one in Kansas, and one in Missouri. All stores used a floorplan that exceeded 220,000 square feet (20,000 m2) (which was about 42,000 square feet larger then an average Walmart Supercenter in 2022 and about 40,000 less square feet than the current largest Walmart Supercenter in Albany, New York). They featured a mini-mall, food court, arcade, bank, and other kiosk operations. The ones in Kansas City and Topeka featured McDonald's, Subway, and Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen in their food courts.
