Which malls in the US have Wal-Mart as part of a mall as an anchor?

And, being specific the Wal-Mart has either 2 stories or more, entrances into the mall, and/or atleast has entrances facing different roads? e.g. not a Wal-Mart store that is detached to the rest of the mall.

There were two examples of Wal-Mart as mall anchor in Wisconsin:

Pine Tree Mall (Marinette, Wisconsin) - This Wal-Mart had a front entrance and mall entrance, the store was previously a Prange's department store. The Wal-Mart recently relocated to a Supercenter. The Wal-Mart anchor store is now currently vacant.

Beaver Dam Mall (Beaver Dam, Wisconsin) - The Wal-Mart had a front entrance and mall entrance, the store was originally a Woolco, then Copps Discount Store, then Wal-Mart. The Wal-Mart is now a Boston Store, Wal-Mart relocated to a Supercenter location.

A couple of malls in Canada have Walmart as anchor stores. Walmart opened more new stores at more malls when Target closed their Canadian locations. Now some malls have a Walmart that was previously Target, which was previously Zellers, which was previously Kmart. Some Walmart stores were originally Woolco stores.

What once was Parmatown Mall had a Walmart as an anchor. It was built on the site of the former Higbee's/Dillard's store, and had an entrance into the mall with one of those magnet strip "don't take your cart past here" features on the mall entrance door.

Now that the mall's been torn down and is being redeveloped into an open-air center, word is that the Walmart there is going to be expanded into a superstore.

A 1 floor Walmart Supercenter is a anchor at Philadelphia Mills, in Philadelphia, PA.  It has a mini mall entrance that goes right to one of their main entrance.  This location was built on the site of the former Ports Of The World/Boscov's location here (when the mall was called Franklin Mills)
