Originally built in 1994, the ground floor once accommodated a Sam's Club, while the upper level housed Walmart. But when the curtains fell on Sam's Club, the powers that be opted to expand their retail empire over both floors, transforming it into the retail titan it is today.

Newcomers may be shocked to see an escalator at Walmart, which they'll have to take if they want to access the pet supplies, electronics, toys and apparel. Groceries take up much of the ground floor. Since carts don't fit on a regular escalator, customers must use the "cartalator", which is a bit of a spectacle in itself.

So if you ever find yourself passing through our state's capital, immerse yourself in the retail extravaganza that is Walmart Store 2152.
