Is This Minnesota Store Really The World’s Worst Walmart?

If you’ve ever complained about long checkout lines or waiting forever for help at Walmart, one Minnesota store might sound familiar!

A Walmart Supercenter in St. Cloud has earned an unfortunate distinction after being ranked the worst Walmart in the world in a recent analysis of customer reviews.

According to SEO Backlinks who analyzed 18 million Google reviews to identify the lowest-rated Walmart locations.

The Supercenter on Second Street South in St. Cloud, Minnesota, landed at the bottom of the list, with an average rating of just 3.29 stars out of five from more than 4,900 reviews.

But Minnesota wasn’t alone in the not-so-glamorous rankings.

A Walmart Supercenter in Galesburg, Illinois, came in second with an average rating of 3.31 stars.

Rounding out the top three was the Walmart on South Cedar Street in Pecos, Texas, which averaged 3.36 stars.

So, what’s making shoppers unhappy?

According to the analysis, the complaints appear to have more to do with customer service than the products on the shelves.

Long checkout lines, delays with pickup orders and difficulty finding employees to help customers were among the issues highlighted.

Of course, a low average rating doesn’t mean every shopper has a bad experience, and thousands of reviews can reflect a wide range of opinions.
