Walmart Supercenter

After a weekend in beautiful Westfield, I go to leave and I realized I had almost two flat tires. I ended up having a nail in one and a screw in the other. Of course everything in Westfield is close on a Sunday small town, very annoying. So I called Dunn tire in Fredonia and they too were closed on Sundays. I called Walmart hoping and praying that they were open, and they were! I spoke with Karen in the tire department, and she was wonderful. She told me not to worry about it, I didn’t have to make appointment and to just come in and she will assess my vehicle and that if it just needs to be plugged it’s about $ 10 for each. So I filled both my tires with air and off I went. When I arrived Karen got me right in and explained everything that was going on with my tires. I was able to get one plug and they filled up the other one so that I can make it home and she advised me to get a brand new tire after I got home. I appreciate that I’m not trying to rip me off and telling me I needed to buy a tire right then from them. I also appreciate them getting me right in and working on my car right when I got there. You guys were heaven sent that day. I love that you are open on Sundays because there a lot of small towns around Fredonia that aren’t. Thank you again Karen and crew I appreciate all your help.

Me and the partner normally come to this Walmart when we just want to take a drive out some where from Angola. Our go to Walmart is the Hamburg location one but going to the Ferdonia location is great because we get to drive for a little bit and then do some shopping at Walmart. What I can gather, the town is really a college town so the Walmart caters to them. This Walmart also I feel a lot more items then the Hamburg location. I personally like this Walmart better, but its just a far drive out from Angola so when we shop here, its really only for special occasions.
I will have to echo what Tom D said. I never noticed that at this location until I read Tom’s review. When you ask them where a item is, they will walk you to the item or at least general area where the item is. Unlike most places, they will tell you what isle its on.
I also think the taxes is also less out there then it is at the Hamburg Walmart which makes it a good time when shopping there. Other then that, this would have to be my go to Walmart if I’m not at the Hamburg location.

OK, so why the Unilocaling? It’s nothing but another cookie cutter all the same Walmart? Well, not exactly. This one has the same goods and products for sale, the same set up, the same marketing and organization, but it’s somewhat different than the others. Being a more rural «Grape Belt» area store you’ll find the patrons as well as the staff less pushy, more sincerely polite and friendly. Also, unlike so many others, this store appears to be clean both inside and outside around the parking lot.
Another nice thing is that on pleasant days they have independent outside vendors with food concessions selling tacos, homemade breads and treats generally forbidden to be sold on Walmart premises at other locations. Also little fund drives by the local high school cheerleaders, 4H Clubs, Volunteer Fire Department & etc. which to me adds to the atmosphere of community spirit. You might say that this Walmart instead of just seemingly taking local dollars out of the area actually strives to be an active part of the community. So for this one, I’m saying it’s A-​OK.

As a traveler — I’ve encountered my share of Walmarts and I’d like to say this one — in the Fredonia/​Dunkirk area — it’s by far the cleanest most organized in all I have had to shop at. Though each is similar — this one jumps out as the best!
I know many of you might think of Walmart as the corporate monster running small business out of town, but it’s just a master marketer and at the moment seems to be doing the right thing.
The Fredonia/​Dunkirk Walmart also does something else fairly well — and that’s training it’s employees to take the shopper to the area in question instead of pointing them in a direction as if they are an inconvenience, which is the type of treatment you get elsewhere!
A fair warning — keep your children under control in the toy section as they might be told to stop riding bikes, bouncing balls or otherwise destroying the merchandise!
I’ve also observed staff having Safety Meetings — which being a safety professional myself always makes me smile.
Job well done Fredonia/​Dunkirk Walmart associates!
