Like in most of my Supercenter tours, I hugged the wall of the grocery department (since that's where most of the interesting stuff is) and pretty much completely skipped the main actionway where most customers would be. I don't think I've mentioned the flooring yet, so this seems like a good place since it's quite visible here -- this store has vinyl flooring, which seems absolutely bizarre for a new-build Walmart from the 2010s! Clearly Walmart Canada stuck to vinyl flooring far longer than the American side did, since US stores were already having their vinyl flooring removed by the time this store was built (and new-build stores stopped getting it in, I think, the early 00s if not the late 90s); unfortunately, it appears that changed in the Airport era and Canadian stores are now switching over to concrete flooring.
