- Former Walmart - Bedford, OH *As Seen From The Sky*. Enjoy a small look around this old Walmart from a bird's eye view. I walk around the front looking through the doors and discovered the place was now being used after it sat abandoned for several years. Thanks to the DJI Mavic Mini, you'll be able to see this large store from up in the sky.

There is no obligation and I'm not asking you to! All proceeds go toward expenses involved in travelling to film for you guys. I do not make a profit. Thank you!
Sad, it looked very nice. Also in that shopping center across the street used to be a Target but that was demolished.
Remember when many Walmart's were closing in the Midwest a couple of years ago & everyone thought they were being turned into FEMA Camps???
I remember that lol
Sure do. I remember hearing all about Jade helm.
An abandoned Walmart! That’s one thing, but drone footage?! Wallie you are killing it!!
Rare to see a closed Walmart!
Rare but good.
May 13 is the grand opening of the Seven hills Meijer store (former Kmart location) hopefully you can be there!
why? He explores abandoned places not newly opened ones..
@@timriss28 Wallie explores Everything! Including new places! Plus this new Meijer location was previously a Kmart!
@@RyGuy0520 kmart still exists.
That is my birthday.
@@timriss28 Yeah. He does grand openings too just go through the channel
Shopped at that store while in college in Rockford in 2012-2014. That store had 2 personalities. It total changed after 6pm, if you were white or elderly you weren't safe there & theft was unbelievable. The shelves were always empty and the employees & management were nowhere to be found. They would park shipping containers in the side lot full of seasonal merchandise and they would be picked clean within days. The cool thing about that store was at all 3 main enterances where the long stripes on the pavement are. Those were heated during the winter and snow wouldn't stick and just melt away.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane....
This is my old neighborhood and my Walmart I went to. I don't know the whole story but theft was a problem here. I remember seeing an empty chicken bucket from the deli that someone ate and put on the shelf before being paid for. People hung out in the parking lot and it was a bit sketch going there at night. This area has been dying for a long time. This property had a Hills/Ames store too before the teardown and new construction. A Handy Andy and some other grocery stores I don't know the name of were on the property too. Their was an old Finest/Tops across the street along with a Dollar Tree and Target. Sad to see but that area Is a skeleton of what it used to be.
😔
Yep I have many memories with my grandma here this area was dying for years even as this walmart was built here the southgate plaza and randall park mall were unsafe and most locals would go to macedonia to shop as it (was) safer and the sales tax is less
@@RyGuy0520 Yep good old Macedonia, lower sales tax and a nicer environment to shop in. It was only 15 minutes away from me so we went there if we didn't want to bother with the Bedford Walmart. Aurora has a nice one too right across from the old Geauga Lake property. Man I'm out of state now and I miss those areas and especially all the beautiful Metroparks Ohio has available to us.
Wouldn't it be nice to see an abandoned Walmart with a sign that says, KMART COMING SOON?
YEESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahahahaha! Good one, though I'm very positive that's happening in an alternate universe right now.
Actually there was a time when Walmart had quite a bunch of empty stores. Ironically, this was because Walmart was putting super centers all over the place, and then simply abandoning their original locations, leaving them to sit for years and years! The original stores, like the super centers that replaced them were almost always stand alone stores with just enough parking for the said store, so it wasn’t like they could just add on to the original locations. So in almost every instance, the new locations were constructed a short distance from the old stores.
I think GRM Adventures did this before! Glad to see it again.
Wow..that store was big! Its strange to see a closed Walmart, it seems like too nice of a building to just be sitting, great drone footage..
Actually, that big empty building that has that sign saying Coming Soon Simon’s Supermarket was a grocery store called Tops.
When a Walmart has to close for theft. That's some bad theft.
Excellent! The drone footage and accompanying music was SO good! Thanks for all you do. I really enjoy your videos.
The most awesome walmart I've seen was in Park City, Utah. It's a Ski Resort town and a rich community. The walmart looked like a log cabin
There was a Target and Giant Eagle in a plaza across the street that was built around the same time as Walmart. They all closed about the same time.They even tore the Target down.
I worked at this Walmart for about 3 years. I miss it.
The building is now a steel warehouse. There are large steel coils in the parking lot. I live on the street next to the building and you can hear the frequent semi trucks coming to and from the facility.
Always enjoy your uploads. The drone camera work and music is an excellent addition and really adds to your videos. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed.
Thanks for sharing this one Wallie Wow that was awesome having a sky view of this walmart thanks again it sad that this one had to closed because people stealing stuff.
Mad Respect for your drone skills brotha.. Amazing video.. Thank you
Excellent video Wallie! Haven't been here in a while nice to see an update
Love the former Walmart building that was made out of bricks.
I'm pretty sure this is by Garfield heights where the other two abandoned Walmart's are
Yes this was the replacement walmart for city view (garbage heights)
This building kind of reminds me of all the Krogers that used to be here in Western PA, as seen on your videos, especially the one in Baldwin that Foodland was in afterwards. Fingers crossed that Meijer comes here to Western PA! They seem like a great store based on your videos!
Cool. I like the drone footage, shows how huge it is.
Love the drone footage! You need to do that on all of the stores you check out.
The Bedford Walmart wasnt a replacement store for the city view store, it was already built and opened the year the Garfield hts store closed (per plain dealer). It was meant to be an additional location, not a replacement.
Well said these out of towners know nothing about the area.
Wallen you need to show Kayla more we miss seeing her. Lol
I understand. Kayla chooses if she wants to be on camera or not. I respect her decision. I always ask her if she wants to but often. She prefers not to be. Some people were being creeps trying to be inappropriate or hit on her and she didn't like it. Nor did I.
Wow! 😀😮 I liked watching the drone footage! It was awesome! ❤😘👍 I enjoyed watching your video, WallieB26! Thank you so much! I enjoyed it!
This a rare sight. I know Walmart has closed some locations over the years. I like this design something different. The view from the sky is wonderful especially the site of downtown Cleveland in the distance.
Been by here a few times and that one shopping plaza for the the bonus was an Old Tops grocery store. Amazing views from the drone thanks for taking us along.
That was a great video and I love when you and Kayla get out the drone it makes your videos so much more fun as well seeing what things look like from that perspective so thanks so much hope you guys have a great day it’s also reminds me of our Walmart up in Highland Utah it’s in a ritzy neighborhood so they built it up to look more fancy like this one instead of all the other shoebox Walmarts that we have around here in Utah but anyway it was fun to see it
Oh boy Wally World 🙄😂
The drone footage is beautiful and awesome! Have a KMartlicious Day!
Most Walmarts from this era including the Garfield Heights one had these big fans the ones that closed mostly removed them. Search up hvls fan
yes thats a pretty bad area of suburban cleveland
FYI- Crossroads in K-zoo, mich would be a good mall to film, it has lots of stores...😍.
It’s sad that someday your Walmart will be like this one.
great video! this location closed in 2016
Excellent video my guy. To be honest I love to see walmart close. I worked there back in the day hands down everything you heard about the place is true. I stay out of there as well. They put all the good stores out of business like Caldor Bradlees Ames ect. Now that they got rid of most of there competition they have jacked up prices.
I like the Walmart, Sears, kart McDonalds and other one you do film
Cool drone footage. Shame this Walmart closed due to theft. I thought they had security to monitor theft but sounds like they didn't do much or they were in on it.
Awesome video
As always, amazing video!!
I have alot to say about this plaza as my Grandma lives in this area and always took us here but I will try to keep it short lol jk! That big empty section to the right of the plaza (bonus footage) was a Target store that closed shortly after the walmart opened and it was demolished a few years later One of the earliest memorys I have here is when the target first opened back in 1995 for the grand opening event they were allowing kids to mold their hand prints in the cement near the front of the store which my brother my sister and I did it too I was like 4 at that time so it would have been cool to see our little hand prints now but it all got torn up with the demolition also the location across the street where the walmart was used to be a Hills (later Ames) a Reiders Stop n Shop (most became Giant Eagle this location closed in the later 90s as there's plenty of Giant Eagles around here) and a long abandoned Handy Andy hardware store (closed in 1996 during bankruptcy) which all got demolished sometime around 2007 to relocate the Walmart here from City view in garfield heights
Every township or city has different standards when it comes to store fronts. Some cities require nice brick or specific colors on the front of commercial buildings including Walmart. Walmart has building engineers and architects that follow the cities rules on how many parking spaces, square footage, paint schemes, parking lot lighting, store signs size and shapes. Some cities are very strict on it. So if Walmart or any commercial retailer wants to open a store in a city then they have to get approval from the city council.
the building does have power all the exit signs are lit
Cool Video
A lot of people are shopping online so even Walmart is hurting.
Walmart is online too🤔🤔
It does make me wonder about any new updates on that toxic landfill center you mentioned in the last couple years since that video.
Good job
That was a Tops grocery store, not Marcs. On the other end of that strip was a Target, which has since been razed.
There is an abandoned Toys r us in North Olmsted and a Abandoned Kmart off W140 st
That building opened in 2008.
A Get Go also closed near here and was demolished.
So all of the stuff inside of this Walmart is actually storage for the BMV that's next door as far as I'm aware. And they're just using it for storage
This is a great channel...!
There’s an abandoned Walmart in lewisburg, pa beside the weis.
Love it, I hate Walmart
that is sad that walmart had short lift :( but these companys dont mess around, with theft they give them couple of chances then they close them
This Wal-Mart was once home to where a former Ames was
Hills, Stop n shop, and a Handy Andy hardware store oh and almost forgot a KFC
Thats sad. I wonder if anything ever became of this location. Glad im not the only one that doesnt like target.
Is this the place that just blew up?
Hey wallie did you ever do a k-mart in wisconsin I worked at the one in Milwaukee I don't know if you have footage of the one in Milwaukee WI it was located on 76th and good hope in Milwaukee WI. I never got to say good buy to my former k-mart store.they closed April 1st 2003.
Hey wallie my name is kripes.. there is a abandoned PIER ONE imports in altoona,pa..just thought you might be interested..haven't seen a pier one on your channel...just a thought.. its next to the walmart plaza just off off I99 interstate highway..
that WALMART was built for e commerce also since it was built so new
You don't see to many Wal-Mart have bricks on the front of the building
Maybe a furniture store
The end is soon coming for Walmart. Give it about 15 or so years.
Maybe it's a wear house now just Guessing
WALFART 🤣
I actually going to this walmart it was not even good I saw expired food on the shelve and when I was purchasing my items the worker there was so mean after he scanned them he would throw them like what is his problem and even in the restroom I went to a stall and someone forgot to flush and he told big piss boy it smelled really bad it smelled like a skunk farted on rontan sticky cheese like it made have to vomit and there was paper towels everywhere and the floors were wet and whenever I was going to purchase a item a worker would come and tell me excuse me sir but that item is off limit someone pre ordered it like they didn't if someone ordered something they would not be on shelve I even saw broken TVs and in the clothing department there were clothes that look like they got ripped why are they selling ripped clothes that doesn't make any sense this was a awful Wal-Mart weird how it still Abandoned and doesn't seem like its been touched
May 13 is the Grand Opening for the Boardman, Ohio Meijer.
Wake up people it's not just sitting there that nice for no reason!! Where do u think their gonna house all the ones that won't conform to their way of thinking and become their slaves and take oath and the side of satin? Wake up the time is at hand to figure out which side ur on coz there ain't no riding the fence!! With Jesus Christ you live forever even tho you will be hated in this world but if u choose to conform to this world you will loose ur life in the end! I pray u realize only when u see that being a sheep is the way to life for qe have a Shepard that loves us and will never leave us and all He asks is for us to stand firm in His live and put ur faith even ur earthly life under the strength and protection of His love. God gave His Only Son so that we as sinners can join the Father in heaven. HE GAVE US ALL THE GREATEST GIFT OF SALVATION...And the time is at hand to choose...make ur choice wisely and get on ur knees and pray. Pray for us all and in love of Jesus Christ God the Father there shall me life waiting...the the Lord for His mercy in the name Jesus Christ our savior amen
