Largest Wal-Mart Supercenter In US Finds Home In Albany NY

Two-Story Albany Wal-Mart To Open In May

The Crossgates Commons Walmart in Albany has expanded to become the largest Walmart Supercenter in the US!

ALBANY NY — A May 17 grand opening is planned for the Crossgates Commons Wal-Mart Supercenter in Albany, which will be the largest in the US.

This two-story Wal-Mart will be fully equipped with discount merchandise, groceries and even a special escalator for shopping carts!

Wal-Mart’s 2300 Supercenters across the nation typically average 187,000 square feet. The Crossgates Commons Wal-Mart Supercenter will be almost 260,000 square feet.

After the closing of Sam’s Club in May 2006, the company decided to combine its adjacent Wal-Mart store with the vacant space to create one large Supercenter. The store is open for shopping, but it is not until May 17 that it will host its grand opening, complete with groceries, a deli and more. Albany NY, we are now home to the largest Wal-Mart Supercenter in the United States!
