It looks like the LA store closed in 2003. Didn't last long.

Interesting to note that HEB has 60% of the grocery market share
in Austin, 63% in San Antonio, and 100% in South Texas. That must
mean Walmart has less than 20% market share in Austin since we
also have Randalls, Whole Foods, Sprouts, Newflower, Sun Harvest,
Wheatsville, Natural Grocers,

Not wanting to lose face in North Texas, Walmart flooded Dallas/Ft
Worth with 125 superstores. 125? Yikes. I think Austin has
maybe 10 Walmarts. That just goes to show you how Evil Walmart
really is - they can afford to throw billions of dollars around
just out of spite. Those *******s. That injected water is raking
in the bucks.

It sure is nice to see Walmart scrambling for domination in the
face of such a lowly little privately-held company.
