Many Walmart Supercenters also have a [[Garden centre|garden center]], [[pet store|pet shop]], [[pharmacy]], Tire & [[Motor oil|Lube]] Express, optical center, [[Photographic processing|one-hour photo processing lab]], portrait studio, and numerous alcove shops, such as cellular phone stores, hair and nail salons, video rental stores, local bank branches (such as [[Woodforest National Bank]] branches in newer locations), and fast food outlets. Many Walmart Supercenters currently feature [[McDonald's]] or [[Subway (restaurant)|Subway]] restaurants. In some Canadian locations, [[Tim Hortons]] were opened. Recently, in several Supercenters, like the [[Tallahassee, Florida]] and the [[Palm Desert, California]] locations, Walmart added [[Burger King]] to their locations, and the location in [[Glen Burnie, Maryland]], due to its past as a hypermarket called Leedmark, boasts an [[Auntie Anne's]] and an Italian restaurant. Some Walmart locations in Canada have Axess Law locations, [[Mary Brown's]], Burger King and McDonald's, and [[Atlantic Lottery Corporation]] locations in the Atlantic region. Some U.S. locations have [[Wendy's]], [[Domino's]], [[Taco Bell]], [[Claire's]], and small arcades called GamePlay. Very few U.S. locations have [[KFC]], [[Hardee’s]], [[Papa John’s]], [[Dairy Queen]], [[Little Caesars]], and [[A&W Restaurants]]. Some locations also have fuel stations which sell gasoline distributed by [[Murphy USA]] (which spun off from [[Murphy Oil]] in 2013), [[Sunoco]] ("Optima"), the [[Tesoro Corporation]] ("Mirastar"), USA Gasoline, and even now Walmart-branded gas stations.<ref name="CSNews_WMGas"/> The first Supercenter opened in Washington, Missouri, in 1988. A similar concept, [[Hypermart USA]], had opened a year earlier in [[Garland, Texas]]. All Hypermart USA stores were later closed or converted into Supercenters. {{As of|2022|10|31|df=US|post=,}} there were 3,572 Walmart Supercenters in 49 of the 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.<ref name="Unit Counts & Square Footage"/><ref name="Unit Counts by Country"/> Hawaii is the only state to not have a Supercenter location.
