 I went to Wal-Mart. The one by Metro West. In my opinion Wal-Mart utilizesa racetrack layout. Though in my opinion and as you can see in the pictures it has too many hallways. That akes me think that it also utilizes a freeform layout because of the many hallways that it holds other than those from the gondolas. I pictured the packs of water bottles at the entrance of the store as the visual display. The water is normally located at the back of the store with all the other liquids. So yes, I believe cross merchadinse is being used. Also I believe the idea is that Summer is coming, is getting hot and people want to keep hydrated, so they have a special on those packs of water bottles.
