[USA] How Far to Walmart?

[RumoredNow]

Something going in another thread got me thinking about this.

Let's look for winners in the following categories:

• Nearest Walmart being closer to your home than anyone else (minutes to drive)
• Most number of Walmart stores within 30 minutes drive of your home
• Least number of Walmart stores within 30 minutes drive of your home
• Longest drive to the nearest Walmart

For purposes of this thread do not count Walmart Neighborhood Market locations. Use your fave mapping tool to check drive times. You can use times without traffic.

What do you win? The awe and admiration of your peers.

 

[RumoredNow]

Nearest: 4 minutes without traffic

# within 30 minutes of home: 12

So I'm winning at this point.

Nearer than anyone else at 4 minutes.

Farther than anyone else at 4 minutes.

More than anyone else with 12 Supercenters within 30 minutes drive time (no traffic).

You forgot the category, "Least number of Walmarts within 30 minutes drive."

For me, that's 1. I've got 1 Walmart Supercenter that is 20 minutes away. 38 minutes next closest Walmart. 5 Walmarts if I'm willing to drive an hour-and-a-half. Yeah, I live way out there.

[Solved] I adjusted the categories:

• Nearest Walmart being closer to your home than anyone else (minutes to drive)
• Most number of Walmart stores within 30 minutes drive of your home
• Least number of Walmart stores within 30 minutes drive of your home
• Longest drive to the nearest Walmart

Nearest Walmart 4 minutes (no traffic) - RumoredNow
Most number of Walmart stores within 30 minutes drive (no traffic) 12 - RumoredNow
Least number of Walmart stores within 30 minutes drive (no traffic) 1 - rhapdog
Longest drive to the nearest Walmart 20 Minutes (no traffic) - rhapdog

Hmm...

Nearest Walmart being closer to your home than anyone else (minutes to drive) : 12 min w/o traffic (but more like 18 min w/ traffic, always traffic)
Most number of Walmart stores within 30 minutes drive of your home : 7

Seems like RumoredNow and rhapdog is in the lead.

OK I'll play:

Nearest Walmart being closer to your home than anyone else (minutes to drive)

4 minutes, 1.7 miles

Most number of Walmart stores within 30 minutes drive of your home

9

Least number of Walmart stores within 30 minutes drive of your home
Longest drive to the nearest Walmart

rhapdog has got me beat on these!

 

[Laura Knotek]

Nearest Walmart: 10 minutes (2.3 miles)
Number of Walmart stores less than 30 minutes to drive to: 8

 

[KickAssLumia]

1/2 mile from home, about 2 mins.

Looks like 6 minutes for a 3 mile trek.
Barring conflicts with other drivers using creative driving techniques.

(Real time travel is about 3-4 minutes tossing aside the rules of the road)

I count 16 full blast WalMarts within 30 minutes of our address.

 

[RumoredNow]

Our best scores thus far:

Nearest Walmart 2 minutes (no traffic) - KickAssLumia
Most number of Walmart stores within 30 minutes drive (no traffic) 16 - Guytronic
Least number of Walmart stores within 30 minutes drive (no traffic) 1 - rhapdog
Longest drive to the nearest Walmart 20 Minutes (no traffic) - rhapdog

Looks like I'm getting the award for being "out in the middle of nowhere", if you judge that by Walmart being available.

1. Is this a ploy to find everyone's general location relative to WalMart?
2. Scores coming up on my end
