The veggie selection at the stores in Arkansas is actually pretty decent. The new big thing that Wally world is supposed to be trying out is "locally grown" produce. So, in Wisconsin they market WI apples, in Maine, blueberries, in Arkansas tomatos, etc.
In Arkansas, at least, much of the selection depends on the customer base of the store. Store 1, in Bentonville, has an awesome selection of hispanic groceries because they have a large hispanic customer base. One of the stores in Fayetteville has a lot of "gourmet" groceries (cheeses, spreads, gourmet sausages, and shit) that the other doesn't.
I'm not sure that they've diversified their stores as much nationwide as they have here near the Hive.
