Following the decision by McDonald's Corp. to close upwards of 300 in-store restaurants, Walmart is evaluating alternatives including Taco Bell and ghost kitchens.

On April 15th, Texas media reported that La Madeleine Express outlets are planned for specific stores in the Dallas region with the first to be installed in a Garland store followed by nine others to be established.  La Madeleine Express units range from 1,000 to 2,000 square feet in extent with limited menus but all offer takeout and most dine-in alternatives.
