Hmm… Walmart.com doesn’t list any in Spring Valley, but they do have the SuperCenter in Eastlake (Chula Vista). Funny the last one - I remember when Eastlake was first being developed and looked over some units, thinking I might buy down there. In hindsight I’m glad I didn’t as I realize now that it would have been pretty remote for what I needed.

For those not local - Chula Vista is a town between San Deigo and the border, used to be mostly older folk and “starter” houses. Great climate, moderate (by SoCal standards) house prices, though its proximity to Mexico earned it the nickname “ChulaJuana”. Then developers started to build large developments a bit farther east, inland, en masse, that were incorporated in (aka Eastlake.) Pretty much the typical 80’s and 90’s large scale developments with all the attendant issues.

Anyway, it is typical of this kind of development then to depend on huge box stores for retail, and I find it not unexpected that a Walmart SuperCenter would pop up there first in the greater SD area.
