From my experience (in the USA), most WalMarts and KMarts only allocate a small percentage of their floor space to groceries. The so-called "super WalMarts" have a full range of groceries; even so, the grocery section takes up only 20 percent or so of the store.

In the US walmart/Kmart etc aren't the same thing as supermarkets,
they have less emphasis on groceries...
