I've got a Walmart that is in the process of becoming a Super Center I'm not sure if it will be eventually coded as a grocery store.

Is there anything we can do as consumers either to visa or Target/Walmart to have them be changed as a grocery store so I can do my MS at Target/Walmart?

thanks.

No. Tier 3 data might get reported, but Target and Walmart will never be coded as a Grocery Store because, despite selling Groceries, that is not their primary function.
