As Ian said there's only two "classes" of walmarts, Supercentres which include fresh produce and other fresh groceries. Regular walmarts will only have frozen sections. I believe most walmarts are transitionning to become "supercentres" to compete with grocery stores, atleast that's what I've noticed in Canada
