I stopped by the Avon Walmart to pick up some necessities like toothpaste and tissues. This is a pretty big Walmart, with a substantial sized parking lot. They don't have a full grocery section, but you can find flour, oil, seasonings and some other "dry" items. The shelves are all very well stocked. This Walmart is a bit behind on some of the latest releases. Prior to going to the store you may utilize the store locator on their website, to identify which location has your item in stock. Currently, in mid October they have all of the Halloween items out and Christmas too. If that doesn't tell you it's a big Walmart, well it's big. I typically find what I need and go to the register. It's unlikely that I'd find someone looking to be helpful. Overall, not a bad Walmart. read more

Walmart is, well, Walmart... The prices are affordable which deserves 5 stars. I gave it 3 because it's small, doesn't have a full grocery store, and self checkout lines are usually long when I'm there. This location is smaller that the ones I've been to but it's super clean. They have non refrigerated groceries; I usually get baby food, other pantry items, and toiletries here. I haven't had to interact with any employees so no review on that. read more

Went to this WalMart today and the best experience I have ever had in a Walmart! The store is beautifully set up for the holidays and clean and organized. I found every item I needed at great prices. The store employees I ask help from were very friendly and helpful. When I got in line with my elderly parents our WalMart cashier Vinay was not only efficient, he was incredibly kind to my parents and he just made the whole experience next level wonderful. We will now always shop at this Walmart. read more

Clean store in excellent location. Great prices and sales. I've noticed some employees work so much harder than others (on cell phones) or 2-3 talking and hanging out when customers need help. Managers should check this out - esp in evenings. Once I was locked (yes!) in garden center at 5:50 pm without anyone checking to see if there were customers. No one heard my knocks on the door and I had to call the store for someone to let me in. Most staff are very good with minimal support. Reward these people. read more

Worse customer service every. You can sit at electronics for a hour no one will even ask you if need help. Walk all the way to the front to have them page someone for help and still nothing wait and watching all the employees walk right by you doing nothing and don't help.. read more

Super underrated for hanging flower baskets ($14.99 each) as opposed to close to $30 each elsewhere. Just have to spend some time picking through the best ones but it'll be worth it. read more

Was in the store last evening with my young daughter to buy a gift for her friend's party today. As we made our way to the back of the store where the toys are located, we passed a female and male employee who were stocking Christmas candy. The language being used by this young girl as she shouted to another employee at the back of the store was shocking. Does Walmart train its employees in how to act in a business environment? It went on for so long that we ended up leaving without a purchase and doubt I'll return. Do better Walmart. read more

They always have good prices and a great selection of foods and produce! Employees are also very friendly and very helpful

When the Avon Walmart opened up in January 2001, the apocalyptic naysayers decried everything about it. They would create a traffic nightmare on Route 202, they would squash out dozens of small businesses, etc. They wanted to sell firearms. So here we are a dozen years later and Walmart has seamlessly become a part of the local landscape. Have I bought clothes here? Yes. Have I bought groceries here? Yes Have I bought toys here? Yes. Have I bought camping stuff here? Yes Have I bought electronics and cameras here? Yes Have I bought small appliances here? Yes Have I bought health and beauty aid things here? Yes, Have I bought lawn and garden stuff here? Yes. Have I bought books or magazines here? Yes Have I bought toilet parts here? Yes Have I bought paint and hardware and tools here? Yes Have I ever been disappointed here? No. They have just about anything you need for any room of the house. They are OK by me read more

Clearly someone needs to train the young lady (young and heavy with glasses) who sits at the self check out service. Not only was she rude, she also always had mouthfuls of rude words. Instead of saying: "Excuse me, let me help you with that" she said "You need to move so I can get in there." Then, we asked for help with the video game we purchased which was locked in the box. We said: Can you help us open this? She responded: "You are not supposed to open this yourself" after she opened it. Hello? That's why we asked for help to open it. read more

I love this Walmart so much. The place is always clean, and the staff is friendly. I've been to many Walmarts in my lifetime, and this one is by far the most pleasant. Admittedly, this Walmart is very small compared to others, especially the Super Walmarts; however, I don't mind. When I need something from one of the bigger Walmarts, which is rare, I'll drive to another town. Overall, if you're hesitant about going to this Walmart because you are hesitant about going into Walmart in general, don't be because you'll be very pleasantly surprised! read more

Listen you guys it's Walmart. If anyone expects perfection, then head over to Target or Whole Foods. The customer service may be better, but the prices are higher. The only reason I don't give this Wal-mart five stars is because it doesn't have a full grocery section with produce, deli and refrigerated goods. It's always clean, the shelves are usually stocked with any items you need, and the employees are much more pleasant than most department stores you visit nowadays. Take it from someone who used to service Wal-Marts throughout CT and MA, this one is as good as it gets. This has largely to due with the fact it's smaller than most Walmart and certainly never gets that busy except on weekends during the afternoon. I would recommend Equate products (Walmart's line) to anyone looking to save money. The quality is highly rated and is always the best priced. I don't go anywhere else for my toiletries and paper products; you have to save money somewhere and Walmart is the easiest way to do it! read more

Honestly on the scale of Walmart's this is one of the best ones in terms of experience. While it is a much smaller store (with extremely limited perishable food selection) it is awesome when it comes to cleanliness and staff help. They have an expansive array of clothing options and often have exactly what I'm looking for even when I don't expect them to. They have a pretty big garden section in spring/summer, and they're super friendly. When I wanted to run out to get another plant (out front) the person at the self checkout volunteered to watch my cart for me. Some of the associates are a bit too nice though - and I had one encounter where the woman was giving me lots of personal details about her life and prying about mine, asking some pretty inappropriate questions about personal things. I noped right out of there but... super uncomfortable. Overall recommend if you can! I'd take this Walmart over Flatbush and Cromwell any day. read more

The lines to cash out are insane. How do you only have one cashier on on a wed at 5pm..... I've been online for 15min don't come here

Its hard to believe that you could go shop at Walmart at 5pm on a Monday and end up looking for a cashier. Not one register open!! I wonder what corporate would say about this mismanaged Walmart store! And this consistently happens wear there is one cashier at rush hour when customers are driving home. It is mind boggling! read more

This store is awesome. Friendly helpful staff, store is clean, spacious and well stocked. I love a bargain, and this is my go to place for many things around the house. I like that this store is a one stop shop for so many things, all the different departments. read more

This is probably the only Walmart that doesn't make me want to stab myself in the eye. It's nice and clean compared to most, and the customers aren't cherrypicked from the pages of "People of Walmart". read more

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE POLICY! I bought groceries online and drove 30 miles to get them. When got home I found out that the Kraft mayonaise was expired. Called Walmart .com for a refund, they said call the store, did that. Their suggestion is for me to drive another 30 miles to return a $2.98 bottle of expired mayo so I can exchange it !? Called Walmart .com for a refund, they said call the store, did that. Their suggestion is for me to drive another 30 miles to return a $2.98 bottle of expired mayo so I can exchange it !? They said they can't refund to me card. What a ripoff!!! read more

This place looks like any other Walmart but a bit cleaner? Maybe it's because of the area‍ I'm sure this plays a factor. Their shelves looks more organized and stocked. But other than that, there's really nothing else special. Once you've been to a Walmart, you've been to all of them. But we still love us some Walmart read more

The lines for customer service is horrendous. The selection of things is unlike any other Walmart you've ever been to and shows to be a place that does not have the things I need more than not when I go there. read more

What can you say about wal-mart? Politics aside, it does the job when your looking for cheap buys for the bathroom and $5 movies. It always seems as though there is only one register open at a time with the check out lines a mile long. All in all, clean and bright. I've been in far worse wal-marts. read more

Walmart - Department Stores Near Me - Avon, Connecticut

I don't care for Walmart in general but I have had good luck finding reasonably priced underwear. That department was a complete mess, packages dumped on the floor, almost everything was mixed up and on incorrect size - style displays. Of course it is due to rude shoppers but the department as a whole was a shambles and it didn't happen within the last hour. Employees were having shouted conversations between multiple isles, it was like being in the middle of a block party and a street brawl. The front cashiers are the most unfriendly bunch I have ever encountered, I always greet with a smile and hello and here you get a scowl (if you are lucky). Granted I may go there 4 times a year but it is always the same. I must mention though, several months ago I placed an online order and had to go into the "way back" to pick the item up and was treated to the most enjoyable 2 young men you could imagine. They were the poster children for somewhat socially awkward but they were the most polite, engaging young people I have encountered in a dogs age and I think they will go far, you rock guys! read more

One word. Claire. Has anyone had any run ins with her? She works customer service. She never smiles and she's mean to everyone. How does she still work there? I watched her once be mean and rude to a little old lady. I watched another lady try to ask a quick question about a prepaid card and she said I don't have time to answer you don't u see my line. Seriously it was a yes or no answer. I don't know how she's still employed. How do u allow a lady like that to work customer service. I'll go else where to buy my money orders etc. and I'd rather shop some where else. read more

I had placed a photo order online through snapfish that offered the order to be printed at a nearby Walmart. The Walmart in Avon printed it incorrectly. When trying to resolve the issue with the manager on the phone he was extremely rude and combative. I explained I placed an order on snapfish to print at their store. He claimed he'd never heard of that and he didn't think it could be done. Um... seriously? I'm here with it so it must be possible. Needless to say, Walmart and snapfish blamed each other. No one accepted responsibility and said the other one was responsible. I waited for a response from the "next" level according to customer service which never happened. Do yourself a favor, DO NOT EVER use their photo services. Save your money and go somewhere qualified. read more

Worst Walmart in CT by far. The aisles are always a disheveled chaotic mess. Especially the seasonal and clearance shelves. On one occasion an item from clearance rang up wrong. After requesting a manager to check our price we were informed by the manager it was ringing up correct price. After a brief "discussion" I walked back to the clearance aisle and retrieved the upc sticker from the shelf and brought it to the register. The manager was summoned again. She explained to me that the black photo albums were on sale but not the red ones. After another "discussion" I again walked to the clearance aisle and found the upc sticker for the red photo album. When I returned to the register the manager was there waiting for me. After scanning the sticker it was revealed that both red and black were on sale for the same price. No apologies, and no admittance of being wrong. I had to personally walk to the aisle twice just to do a store associates job correctly. All the while people in line are witnessing my frustration and embarrassment trying to communicate with a lady who refuses to be incorrect. As I'm finally being rung out at the correct price I asked if I should be receiving this item for free since it was rang up wrong not once but twice. I was informed it was not a commodity and she would be doing nothing to resolve her mistakes. Fast forward about 6 months and I stopped in with my family to grab some painting supplies and a windshield wiper for my wife's car. As we neared the auto section of the store we heard a loud high pitched machine start up and begin to work. As we got closer we saw that a construction company was redoing a section of concrete flooring. Once the machine started sanding or scraping the concrete floor the noise intensified to a level that was so loud I couldn't hear my wife and daughter tell me they were going back to the front of the store. After standing there for 2min trying to figure out which wiper I needed I couldn't take it the noise anymore myself. I turned to gather my family but they were already gone. After locating them in the outer lobby we left without purchasing anything. I can't understand any reason a job that requires the use of those machines would be done during store hours. It did not just make our visit unenjoyable it was actually a painful experience to be in that building at that time. This type of construction and equipment is unjustifiable during business hours. Poor management day in and day out at this location. My money will be going to other local businesses in the area (Target, Kohls, Dicks,etc). With so much competition in the area corporate management should look into what needs to be done to retain local residents business. read more

Good deals, as you'll almost always find at any Walmart. The store is fairly clean and fully stocked with the typical necessities. They have a Subway inside. Not a large food section. No freezer section either. And no beer. read more

Avon Walmart is so clean and everything is super easy to find. Great prices and I never have a problem there. Do most of my toiletry and triscuit shopping here. Plus, it's right next door to a 5 Guys and Russell Speeders. Get your car washed and shop at Walmart! read more

I don't particularly care for this Wal-Mart. It's not a full sized version I don't believe. All the departments are small and have little in selection. The employees aren't the most pleasant bunch. I only go to this one in a pinch because it's close to my house. I wish it were bigger like other Wal-Marts or that Avon had a Target. read more

I went to the Walmart in Avon, CT 3 days ago. I got a few things and went to cashier #10 (furthest to the left). I waited for the 1 person ahead of me to finish and leave. There was no one behind me in line. I was reaching into my cart to start putting my items on the counter. All of a sudden the cashier at register #7 to my right (I found out later her name is Madge) came over and said that the man in her line had to get in my line ahead of me. I had no idea what was happening. I told her I was here and it was my turn at this register. She loudly said that the man (I had never seen him before) was going to be getting ahead of me in my lane. She was angry and insistent and I did not want to confront her, so I checked out at the self service register. When I got home I called and spoke with Manager Paige. She was horrified and said that is not Walmart's policy. I suggested additional training for Madge. She totally agreed and was very apologetic, which was nice. That has never happened to me before at Walmart. My experience at Walmart is usually very good. read more

Only Walmart that is tolerable to go into. Generally hate going in these places because of the weird customers and horrible staff the franchise employs. 3 stars for being clean and well staffed location of a normally garbage franchise. read more

I don't go there unless it's my last option and to be fair it doesn't matter which of their locations you visit as they all lack the minimum of the customer service any business should offer to a customer. They have lower prices than some other retailers and I think that's what they rely on specially in the economy we have right now.We know that they can do much better than that but they obviously choose not to,I wonder why !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

This store is posting beautiful photos of their grocery section. The only problem is this store does NOT HAVE FRESH GROCERIES - What a lie

I love this place if you wanna see the great white trash bags of the northeast then this is your place to go too they are a rare to see An when you do it's like seeing a rare Pokémon read more

Good customer service...clean, organized and everything u need in one store. What else can I say?

Thank you so much my friend and I went and got bubbles and chalk. It made for a wonderful day!

I have had nothing but horrible experiences lately at the walmart in Avon, CT. The last time, (last week) every register had a long line. I had one item and was waiting in express when the woman at the customer service register said she would take the next person. We, (myself, husband and 4 year old son) went over as well and got in line there. She watched this and didn't say anything until she was done ringing the customer up, at which point she told us she couldn't ring us up because she was taking the next person from the line we were originally in. By this point 2 more people had gotten into that line, so now we were in an even longer line. I feel as if she could've said something long before that. My son, who is autistic, was getting upset and uncomfortable, as the store was very hot and we were all sweating. We spoke to a manager about this and all she said was, "I'm sorry." That wasn't helpful. The time before that, twice we got in line and as soon as we got up to the register the cashier informed us she was closing or going on break and then shut off her light and walked away. Again, management didn't care. I will never go to this store again. I have never been treated so rudely in my life and I am very disappointed. I went to this walmart often in the past, the issues have cropped up over the past few months. read more

Showed up at 9:30 pm to return a few items. Store is open until 10. I was told the service desk was closed and I had to come back at 7 am when the service desk was open. The manager, Carmen, refused to come and talk to me and sent a couple stock boys to do her bidding. What kind of customer service is this? If the store is open until 10, I should have the option to return something until 10. And the fact that the manager refused to even talk to me is ridiculous. read more

Definitely the better Walmart as compared with the Hartford store. Went last night to pick up something I ordered on Walmart.com. Associate named Adam was very helpful and even assisted me with a return where he helped me pull up a receipt that I did not bring from a computer. Amazing level of service. Adam also picked the correct blades for my saw, and seemed to be familiar with products. read more

Employees are not friendly, and answers your questions as if you are bothering them. Employees profile certain people, but they should know that many times people with skin colors earn more money than anybody else. I just want to say to the employees of this Avon CT - Walmart that learn how to treat all the people equally. Just communicate directly with the people to whom the employee wants to follow because one nosy customer said something which is not true. Manager should have conference with his/her employees regarding racial profile. read more
