4.0
Located at the high-traffic gateway where Hialeah meets Gladeview, the Walmart Supercenter on NW 79th Street is a true community monolith. Far more than just a retail giant, this location serves as the definitive "one-stop" lifeline for one of Miami’s most industrious and diverse neighborhoods.
The Community Engine
Sitting on the historic 79th Street corridor, this store operates at a different tempo than the tourist-heavy locations. It is the logistical heart of the Northside area, where the daily rhythm is defined by a mix of Caribbean heritage and urban hustle.
Why This Location Stands Out
The Cultural Pantry: Because of the surrounding neighborhood’s roots, the grocery section is a treasure trove of local and international staples. You’ll find expansive selections of Caribbean spices, root vegetables like malanga and yuca, and specialized cuts of meat that reflect the diverse dinner tables of the 33147 zip code.
A High-Tech Hub in the City: This branch is known for its robust Electronics and Wireless centers. It’s a primary destination for local students and tech-savvy residents looking for the latest 5G devices or gaming setups without trekking out to the suburban malls.
The Service Specialist: With an on-site Auto Care Center and a comprehensive Pharmacy, this location functions as a neighborhood clinic and garage. It’s the place where you can get your oil changed and your prescription filled while you pick up a custom-baked cake for a family birthday.
The Atmosphere
"It’s a vibrant crossroads where the convenience of a global brand meets the spirit of a local market."
The vibe here is energetic and unpretentious. It’s common to see neighbors catching up in the aisles or multi-generational families navigating the massive toy and apparel sections. The store feels like a communal "living room" for the Northside—bustling, loud, and deeply woven into the local fabric.
Pro-Tip for the Local Shopper
If you’re looking to beat the rush, aim for weekday mornings before 10 AM. This store is a favorite for the after-work crowd, making the evening energy high but the lines a bit longer. Also, check out the Bakery—their custom cakes are a local staple for everything from "Quinces" to neighborhood block parties.

- Fecha 29 de septiembre de 2022. 2:00 pm. La mayoría de los tramos vacíos en el área de detergentes, chocolate rara vez hay, productos internacionales, pastas, comida para gatos y frutas en un 90% "Vacio". Mandarinas en muy mal estado. No se si haya sido por la hora pero poner un poco más de empeño en esta área tan delicada. Anteriormente tenian los tramos llenos, frutas y vegetales frescos y super organizado todo. Les agradecería poner nuevamente la atención a esto. Gracias de antemano.
- Es un buen lugar para hacer compras, los precios son justos, sin embargo las filas son exageradas y esto debería mejorar.
- Este local específicamente es mal manejado, es desordenado y las colas para pagar son eternas. Lo único bueno es que en relación a nuestra última estancia ahí ahora está limpio. Hay walmart mejores
- This is the most frustrating store that I’ve ever shopped at. Even if you run in for a couple of items, you’ll have to wait in a checkout line for 30 minutes at minimum. If you’re purchasing more than 20 items, you’ll be in line for an hour at least! I love shopping at Walmart, but I’m never going to shop at this one again!
- The lines here are SO long! I think we spent almost as much time standing in a line as shopping that night overall. Nevertheless, considering the city's size, it's understandable; this place is huge and has a lot to offer, I'd give a like to them for that.
