It was closed last April and possibly even before that. Rumours that it might be turned into a Walmart Local have been discounted because of the nearby North Old Lake Wilson Road one.

Yes by far the closest at 2.5 miles

Cagan Crossings around 7.5 miles

It's just over 2 miles away about 7/8 mins in the car if you go via Livingston Road

The car park layout is very challenging though and you have to pick the best exit to get back on to NOLWR

Mick I hate that car park within passion and avoid it when ever possible it's ok going in from either side but getting out nearly caused a divorce in our house to combat that we'd bought nowt it was too busy
Didn't help that I'd tried to tell him how to get out but he decided to ignor the navigator

A tip for new users of that Walmart.

Don't leave by the southern lights. It's a four-way and lights aren't phased to let you cross opposite traffic from Westgate Bvd.

Use the north exit lights which is just a three way and you get your own left turn light.

The layout inside the car par though defies logic

Spot on Mick
Whomever phased those lights was having a bad day 80% of the traffic is probably heading back down old lake Wilson Road to Windsor Hills /Palms Reunion etc

Walmart is the closest supermarket now but Target and Publix aren't much further. Just turn west on 192. A far more civilized experience in the store and the parking lot. Neither are expensive compared to the old Marketplace at Formosa Gardens either.
