Older Non-Supercenter Wal-Mart, in Alexandria (Hybla Valley), Virginia, USA.
This older, about 123,500 square foot, Non-Supercenter Wal-Mart Store is located just outside of the Washington, DC Beltway, about two miles South of the historic city of Alexandria, Virginia proper, in the smallish, unincorporated community of Hybla Valley, in Southeastern Fairfax County, Virginia, USA. The mail for this store goes through the Alexandria Post Office, which is why its official Mailing Address says Alexandria, Virginia. Fairfax County is the most populous county in Virginia, as well as in the Washington, DC-Baltimore combined metropolitan area, with 1.1 million residents, according to the 2011 Census Bureau Estimates, and is growing pretty fast in population, as is most of the rest of the vast Washington-Baltimore area, with nearly 9 million residents in total. This Wal-Mart store is located about 50 miles South of our house in Frederick County, Maryland, USA, but, we were running important errands in the Northern Virginia area today, so we stopped by this store to pick up some basic neccesities that were running low at our house. it appears that this Wal-Mart store is beginning the construction for a Supercenter Expansion, judging by the construction crane visible to the left of the store in this picture, as well as by the general disarray ot the store's interior. Such an expansion would sure be welcome in my opinion, as the store was virtually bursting at the seams, in terms of both product shelving and customers shopping inside, in this extremely densely populated urban area. I sure hope that the proposed Supercenter expansion at the Germantown, Maryland Wal-Mart store gets approved, as that one is currently a little bigger and not quite as packed as this one, but pretty close and getting worse every day, and, the Germantown, Maryland store is the second closest one to our house, and the only one between our house and Washington, DC proper. However, Thankfully, the South Frederick city, Maryland Wal-Mart has been a Supercenter since well before we moved to the area, and, that one is, by far, the closest Wal-Mart store to our house, and is the one that we have been shopping at routinely since we moved to Southern Frederick County, Maryland in late August of 2011. We have only been to the Germantown, Maryland Wal-Mart a couple times since we moved to the area, but, when and if the Germantown Wal-Mart becomes a Supercenter, we might go there more frequently, depending on which direction we happen to be traveling, as we often go South into the heavily populated Montgomery County, Maryland area, where Germantown is, as opposed to North into the somewhat less populated, but by no means small, Frederick city, Maryland area.
