Already one this size in Rocklin, CA; former Albertsons unit. It is a nice Neighborhood Market but doesn't have much business. Still retains a lot of the Albertsons mid 90's layout. Deli, dairy, frozen, and pharmacy are in the proper Albertsons position (Albertsons didn't have a pharmacy but Wal Mart built it about where Albertsons would have put it), doors in the same place... bakery was demolished. Meat room was demolished. It has a bit more non food than a usual Neighborhood Market and the grocery mix seems larger.

The one that closed in Granite Bay was smaller (older Albertsons unit).

The Neighborhood Market in Bellevue WA is a larger one as well, built into a subdivided former Kmart store with an LA Fitness club taking the rest. Although it's been years since I shopped there they tended to have a wider selection than you might normally see at a Neighborhood Market (including some small hardlines departments.)

A lot of the hardlines went away when the Factoria Walmart opened nearby, but that store did poorly and closed down in 2022 leaving this one as the only Walmart store on the Eastside. And by all accounts based on Google reviews it's a rather poorly run store.
