Walmart wants to open grocery stores in the Pittsburgh area.  Walmart’s Neighborhood Markets would be smaller than their Supercenters and would be built in urban areas. 
 From a consumer perspective, this appears to be good news, especially for budget- conscious shoppers.
 Walmart typically builds Supercenters on the fringe of a metro area, where land is relatively cheap and space is plentiful, but now they’re looking at urban areas where good locations are harder to find.
 Since Pittsburgh has always been a good market for Walmart, it makes sense to branch out into grocery stores, giving city dwellers more low-cost options.
