Oddly, I didn't enter Walmart once in 2024. I'm finally able to complete a full circuit around Fred Meyer. It's bigger than Walmart. The cold Winter and hot Summer make Walmart and Fred Meyer attractive places to walk circuits comfortably. Our indoor mall has been purchased by Simon Properties. The new owner has a California style outdoor mall frame of mind. Our mall will be demolished. Penneys is leaving. Most of the local merchants will not survive. Instead, a Target will be built. It will be a large outdoor strip mall. There won't be much casual shopping store to store in comfort. It will be a dash from your car to the store and dash back to your car with purchases in whatever weather is present.
I know what you mean about walking the stores. When my back is hurting, I grab a cart and push it around which helps:)
