{PHOTOS} South Florida Welcomes Another Walmart

On January 25, 2012, South Florida welcomed ANOTHER Walmart to the community
of Pembroke Pines.

Located at 12800 Pines Blvd (SW corner of Flamingo Rd. and Pines Blvd.),
 this new location provides a marketplace, merchandise, garden center, site-to-store pickup,
customer service, photo lab and along with a pharmacy they have a drive-thru pharmacy.
I’ve never seen a Walmart with a drive-thru pharmacy!

I’m super happy about this location because it’s about a 5 minute drive from my home.
This is a perfect location to have a Walmart because
I usually have to drive out more west to the Silver lakes Walmart in West Pembroke Pines.’
There is also another location in Cooper City, FL which is a 10 minute drive
from this location. Since the majority of Pembroke Pines senior citizens live in this
particular area, this is a more convenient location.

Store Features
– Opened 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

– Full line of groceries, including a bakery, a deli serving fresh food and meal solutions for moms, meat and dairy products, fresh produce, and beer and wine – More than 30 merchandise departments such as apparel and accessories, a garden center, health and beauty aids, and an expanded electronics department

– Convenience services include a pharmacy, digital photo processing center and Walmart Connect Center

– Leased areas and services include a nail salon and Subway restaurant

– Drive-thru pharmacy and a drive-thru Site-to-Store pick up
