Wal-Mart Stores announced that the remaining 150,000 square-foot SuperValu, Inc.-owned supermarkets (particularly Albertsons and Acme Markets), and additional 150,000 square-foot Wal-Mart Discount Stores will be re-modeled and expanded, becoming Wal-Mart Supercenters around May 25, 2008 (which makes it as a total of over 5,000 Wal-Mart Supercenters anywhere in the United States).

Around May 28, 2006, Wal-Mart Stores ceased building any additional 150,000 square-foot SuperValu, Inc.-owned supermarkets and additional 150,000 square-foot discount stores, but will now only build 250,000 square-foot Wal-Mart Supercenters instead.

Wal-Mart Supercenters are Wal-Mart's version of hypermarkets that combine a full-line of general merchandise products in department stores, and a full-line of grocery products with meat, bakery, deli, frozen foods, dairy, seafood, and produce sections in supermarkets. These stores also feature Wal-Mart Tire & Lube Express, Wal-Mart Vision Center, Wal-Mart 1-Hour Photo Processing with Portrait Studio, Wal-Mart Money Center, a branch from a local bank, hair and nail salons, Wal-Mart Family Fun Center, a Wal-Mart Movie Gallery video store, a 24-hour pharmacy, a Starbucks coffeeshop, and an in-house branded food-court with full-menu McDonald's.
