Lincoln, Neb.

More HMEs are setting up shop in Wal-Mart. In the latest move, the retail giant has made an agreement with the Lincoln, Neb.-based Scooter Superstore, a Midwest regional provider, to open branches within Nebraska Wal-Mart Supercenters.

The first location is slated to open April 1 in a Lincoln Supercenter under an agreement with Boston-based Companion Health Services, which has a master lease arrangement with Wal-Mart. The big box retailer operates 20 Supercenters in Nebraska.

In the new space, to be located in front of the store near the cash registers, the Scooter Superstore “will coordinate not only durable medical equipment, but also partner with others to provide oxygen, home health services and audiology,” said Scooter Superstore spokesman Mark Frederick.
