But it has everything I needed and more. I have been looking for wheel cover all over the place (I'm not from this area). I felt so lucky to pick one from many selections on the shelf. I actually came here during Tropical Depression 16 on Saturday September 23. Right in the middle of my shopping trip, the rain started to pour. Non-stop for over an hour. I was glad there were no roof leaks at the Ashland Walmart Supercenter. I stayed for as long as I could, like shop till you drop. Employees were friendly and I had no issues (Asians are rarely seen in this part of town). If I stay in Ashland next time, I would come back for fruits to eat at hotel.

Like most Walmarts, the employees on the floor aren't very helpful or friendly. They just want to stock the shelves and mind their own business. It wasn't busy, so checkout was fast. That doesn't happen often, and the clerk at checkout was friendly.

There's no "wrong side of the tracks" in this idyllic railroad town! It's one of the most quaint…read moretowns you'll find in VA. You'll be whistling the theme to The Andy Griffith Show as you meander thru downtown Main Street! Main Street is home to some lovely restaurants, local grocers, a great coffee shop, the historic train station, shops, Randolph-Macon College, and some gorgeous Victorian homes. The toy train shop is must when visiting this homey town. Also in the "downtown" area, you'll find several antique shops, a fabulous bakery and even a small movie theater! Be sure to go by the Ashland Farmers Market where vendors offer local vegetables, herbs and plants, honey, fruits, baked goods, dairy products, crafts and more! Nearby, closer to Rt. 1, it's more commercial with the chain grocers, gas stations, diners, James River Winery, hotels, department stores and other businesses. Entertaining the family is not a problem here! Ashland has a beautiful park located behind the Police Station off England St. This small, quiet park has a neighborhood feel with picnic tables, playgrounds, benches and even a skate park for skateboarders! (The Skateland roller skating rink is on Rt. 1 and has been around for decades and King's Dominion is just a hop, skip and a jump away from town!) While exploring Ashland, the visitors center in the old train station is invaluable for finding the historic spots in nearby. Scotchtown, Patrick Henry's Home is just 10 miles outside of town. The Ashland Museum will provide you with an overview of the town's history. The local library hosts numerous community events throughout the year. And the townspeople flock to the streets for the annual festivals held in Ashland as well, one of the most notable being Ashland Train Day which celebrates Ashland's love for trains! All aboard! I'm there! No wonder this town is nicknamed "Center of the Universe"... it makes you feel right at home!

Evenly divided, by a historic and fairly active set of tracks, is the best kept Town in Virginia…read more Ashland, VA! I recently passed through heading South and then heading North by rail. Unfortunately, not enough time to jump off while passengers disembarked and climbed aboard. Lined on both sides with beautifully kept properties with green lawns and occasional split rail fences. With Randolph Macon College keeping the Town young and lively, along with a variety of B&B's and cute little Main Street with rows of shops on both sides. The Town's website lists regular activities and events. Heading south we saw a Marathon and tables offering crafts & baked goods. Ashland seems to be a perfect weekend get away, especially by rail! It's on my agenda.

Re: Incident at store on 2/22/26…read more My family and I are locals/regular shoppers here and frequently use delivery services. We've never had issues; staff, stock, and freshness have always been great. On 2/22 around 4pm, I was shopping and briefly used the restroom. As the sign states, "no merchandise beyond this point," I left my cart (6-7 items) outside. I was gone less than five minutes. When I returned, my cart was gone. No customers were nearby--only one employee who had entered the restroom while I was inside and another about 30 feet away on a device. Assuming staff moved my cart thinking it was abandoned, I politely asked the nearby employee (male, early-mid 20s) if he knew what happened. Without looking up, he said, "I don't know, dude." I calmly asked if he could help find out. He responded, "Nobody is paying attention to your cart, go ask somebody else." When I asked if he could get someone to help, he said, "I don't care about your cart, dude, stop asking me." His tone was dismissive from the start. When I expressed frustration, he said, "It's time for you to go," and threatened to physically remove me. I replied, "Try to remove me or take me to your manager, but if you touch me, I'm going to hurt you." My voice remained level; I requested a manager throughout. He continued posturing and gesturing for me to leave. I approached another associate (who said he spoke Arabic) and used Google Translate to ask if he knew whether my cart had been moved. Meanwhile, the first employee was repeatedly yelling, "Leave him alone, get out now!" He finally left to get his manager, so I trailed him to the front of the store hoping to speak with them. He spoke to who I believe was the Front End Manager, Michelle (late 40s/early 50s). Before I could speak, she asked, "Did you say you were going to f*ck him up?" I clarified that I only said he would get hurt if he put hands on me after threatening to remove me. She cut me off, saying, "I don't care what happened, you shouldn't have said that," and told me to leave. Within seconds she called law enforcement. I told her I would wait to speak with officers. I was visibly upset but did not raise my voice, use profanity, or threaten anyone. Deputy Waters arrived, listened to my account, was understanding, and asked to review camera footage; Michelle refused. He asked to speak to the employees involved; she refused. She declined to answer any of the officers' questions, repeating that she wanted me out and I wouldn't leave. She called a Jennifer Hayden at one point but would not allow officers to speak with her. From what I gleaned, she was told not to trespass me but to "leave and come back tomorrow." Two additional officers arrived. They explained that as a private business, Walmart could require me to leave without reason and that local branches frequently refused to cooperate with law enforcement. About 90 minutes after entering the store, I was escorted out by three officers without ever receiving assistance locating my cart or items. The officers were professional and sympathetic, and provided instructions for obtaining the police report and filing a complaint through Walmart corporate. Since 2/24, I've contacted Customer Care, filed an Ethics Report (no follow-up yet despite a promised 24-hour response), and was told to expect contact from an Asset department in 3-5 business days. I've also called multiple departments at area stores trying to reach someone in charge of the Ashland Neighborhood Market, with no success. While I understand Walmart handles high call volumes, the lack of accountability or accessible resolution after such an incident is deeply frustrating. It is apparent that Walmart intentionally makes their customer service processes convoluted to force people to give up and drop it, which ethically I refuse to do. I have no ill will toward anyone involved, but I will continue pursuing resolution to make sure the staff members involved are held accountable, and that this location is a safe, non-retaliatory environment for my wife and me to return as customers.
