Not in my experience. The prices in WM in the regional resort areas are not an iota difference than those in the rural area where I live. The experience in the loca rural ones are also far superior - wonderful staff and no long lines because of ope registers.
It’s not based on resort area .
Their price point for food is based on how much competition is around them.
If you are looking rural verses resort area you won’t see a difference . If you look rural verses average large city you will notice a difference .
On some items price difference can be as much as 20%
This is on food (not regular store merchandise)
This does not include things like eggs and dairy products since those prices are based mostly on local dairy laws.
If you live in a suburb and you have multiple Walmarts around you and you check around you can find that certain ones will be much cheaper than others .
