i know i'm new here, but i've thought alot on this subject, and i think any mall or Walmart or whatever is a terrible idea. sure, they're stocked to the skies with supplies, and with some work, they can be secured, but for any long term siege, i'd suggest a large apartment type buildings, with minimal access points, maybe even a national guard type armory.
if Walmart has everything we need, then it'll have everything everyone else needs, too. how long do you think it'll take less-than-savory types to figure it out? or worse, LEOs and military who go rogue after the chain of command breaks down? we'd probably find ourselves defending not just from zeds, but bandits, too. superstores are fine for stocking up, but not for maintaining a siege.
IMO, i'd try and find someplace more isolated, like industrial complexes, warehouses, and stuff, to hole up.
