Last thing you want to do is deal with a thousand people wanting to loot the store. That many people the list of the issues that arise would be endless. Plus you should already have most of the basics at your disposal. Besides food (depending on what you got going on) what do you really need from wally world. Most of use already have clothes, at least a handful of gas cans, any tools needed, Medications, and what ever else you can think of. That reminds me I need to get some more dog food.
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.
