Walmart to Go is a convenience store chain that was introduced by Walmart Stores, Inc. of Bentonville, Arkansas. The first of the Walmart to Go locations opened in Bentonville, Arkansas in 2014.

Check out the checkout
An interior shot of the Bentonville, Ark. Walmart To Go store shows a similar checkout format to a 7-11 or other convenience store, without the dozens of cash registers associated with a larger Walmart supercenter.

Shake it up
Walmart is using its Bentonville, Ark. 'To Go' store as a pilot, experimenting with various extras like this make-your-own-milkshake machine.

Sheetz and Wawa in the northeast have had the F'Real milkshake machines for years now; I didn't realize they weren't nationwide yet.

Somewhat limited - Cumberland Farms also puts them into their new (and newly renovated) locations.

Around here the other major chain is Stewart's, which makes their own ice cream and thus offers freshly made milkshakes along with other items (cones, sundaes and such).

Interesting that Murphy USA announced earlier this year that they were taking a new direction in terms of proximity to Wal-Mart.  Presumably Wally World is eschewing them in favor of these new To Go stations.
