'''Walmart Express''' was a chain of smaller discount stores with a range of services from groceries to check cashing and gasoline service. The concept was focused on small towns deemed unable to support a larger store and large cities where space was at a premium. Walmart planned to build 15 to 20 Walmart Express stores, focusing on Arkansas, North Carolina, and Chicago, by the end of its fiscal year in January 2012. {{As of|2014|September|df=US|post=,}} Walmart re-branded all 22<ref>{{Cite web|title=fy15-q3-unit-counts-for-website-disclosure|url=https://s2.q4cdn.com/056532643/files/doc_downloads/Historical%20Unit%20Count/fy15-q3-unit-counts-for-website-disclosure.pdf|access-date=November 21, 2021|archive-date=January 20, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220120004735/https://s2.q4cdn.com/056532643/files/doc_downloads/Historical%20Unit%20Count/fy15-q3-unit-counts-for-website-disclosure.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref> of its Express format stores to Neighborhood Markets in an effort to streamline its retail offer. It continued to open new Express stores under the Neighborhood Market name. {{As of|2022|10|31|df=US|post=,}} there were 101 small-format stores in the United States.

Between 2002 and 2022, Walmart owned the Amigo supermarkets chain in Puerto Rico.
