Episode Goofs
This isn't the first Wal-Mart in South Park, so the fuss seems excessive. In the Season 7 episode, "Red Man's Greed," Stan says, "Just because you have a piece of paper saying you own it doesn't make it yours. We grew up here. Our parents grew up here. We shop at that Wal-Mart, and eat at that Chili's. We take fish from the streams and bread them and freeze them to make fish sticks. This is not just a town, it is our way of life."
