    The Mellwood Store in Waldorf near the Dollar King has been closed for a couple of years. Should update your sight.

    No I am sorry you are mistaken, check out http://www.yellowpages.washingtonpost.com. You will find the address and a map.

    Sorry, the author of the article is mistaken...the Salvation Army Super Store is on Colton Point Road, but nowhere near the Wal-Mart in Waldorf. It is in Avenue, MD, St. Mary's County.
