"And I should save you whatever I would be saving you. Of course they'd have a generator. Isles of fridges, if the power goes out, they'd be screwed. They'd need a generated just in case.Wal-Mart doesn't have fridges IIRC, and yes I am stalking you. Yes, I saw what you just did there. Do you find this valuable? |

"well you could get some batterys from the auto section for power, i bet those will be left"Nope, batteries are one of the most likely panic buy items. We should assemble a list of things people won't Panic buy. Lumber, toothpaste, appliances, and Airsoft guns to start. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

"well you could get some batteries from the auto section for power, i bet those will be left"the car batteries would go quickly, but there will be abandoned cars all over the place and they all will have a battery under the hood. on the subject of generators in wal-mart. every district had access to a large semi trailer type generator that can be brought to the store in case power goes out. In the event of a wide spread power outage we send out refrigerated trailers to all the stores to store the parishable foods. As for the roof access i suppose it is possible in some older buildings to still have outside access, mostly in buildings and shopping centers not build by us. But in the new freestanding buildings they are all inside. the last thing wal-mart needs is some kids climbing up on the roof and peeping in the dressing rooms and possibly falling and hurting themselves. 0 out of 1 found this valuable.

"Knuxz, SecondShooter WORKS there. He wrote the page on just what a WalMart layout is like.Some of the Wal-marts do have generators, but that is the newer supercenters. His page is on an older style one. Plus he didn't discuss the smaller Gm store whitch have only a much smaller entry, only 4 fire escapes, a gardencenter entry that is behind a 12' tall chain link fence that's locked 60% of the time and steel roll down doors past that that are locked when not in use. Only 2 loading bays in the back-room that are locked at all times unless a trailer is docked and the rear door is locked and barred when not in use plus an alarm. And the roof can take a 200 lb man and 350 lb man jumping on it at it's bad spots. I'm a manager at an Iowa store. P.S. One of my guys and I were talking about hooking an generator up to the store if Z day hits as our receiving area is very defendable. Plus we snip a semi a fuel trailer as he knows how ta drive a rig and my uncle went over how do it when a rode with him. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

There are no generators. I know this because one day the town lost power and they had to use lamps to unload the truck. There is no fresh food and only a small grocery area. In recent thinking, I may use an out of business furniture outlet as my BOL. Maybe. It's across from the Walmart, which also has a grocery store and Tractor Supply in the plaza. The furniture outlet has no windows, One front door and is on a hill behind a gas station. Also a water tower is nearby in the woods. I'll have to look at the building further to scan for exits and weakpoints. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

You are right I did not go over the division 1 ( small GM stores ) mostly because they represent only about 5% of the stores world wide. For that matter I also did not go over the neighborhood market stores, but then again they do not represent a large % of the total stores. I did not say that the roof could not support a 350lb man what i said was that it would not support a lot of people for an extended period of time, and that is fact. there are no fire escapes only fire doors. and it is true that the gates are locked 60% of the time in summer and in most cases 100% of the time in winter. I do not think a padlock will slow down a raider at all. As for alarms on the receiving doors, there are none there are two alarms in every store. One being the fire alarm and the other in on the TLE door and it is armed at 8pm and disarmed at 7am every day. another thing the new super centers DO NOT have generators, period, nada, none...

1) Screw the lingo, I'm not a Wal-mart slave. 2) It's Odd then that there is an alarm on mine that I have to disarm to every time I let in a vendor or to go out ta get into the outside storage trailers 3) A zone manager at the Grimes store told me of the generator 4) If you don't make modifications to a pre-zombie structure you plan to make base, then you, me or whoever you are, are going ta die. From zombies, raiders, or that ******* who sneaks in past ya safety. 5) Plus I agree that a Super-center would suck ass ta defend...to big..to many weak points..needs way to many people.. mostly located in a poor postion.

LOL, This is going to be a damned stupid question.What about an abandoned Wal-Mart? (closed one by me to build a supercenter) sure the supplies would be gone, but it would facilitate a large number of survivors, has multiple bathrooms(if water is even still running), and all the food prep devices in McDonalds(sorry I doubt they have anything but a deepfryer & microwave), you have 2 entrances, the loading docs, and the garage. Again, this Wal-Mart IS already abandoned. Do you find this valuable? |
