If You Hear Code Brown at NJ Walmart Stores Get Out Immediately

If you’ve ever been shopping at Walmart in New Jersey, you might have heard some interesting announcements over the loudspeaker.

Code Brown

One of the most talked-about is the “Code Brown.”

What does that actually mean? Let’s break it down.

“Code Brown” is a signal used by Walmart employees when there’s a serious situation.

It means there's an active shooter in the store.

Imagine you’re in a Walmart, browsing for your weekly groceries or whatever you need, and suddenly you hear the announcement over the intercom for a “Code Brown.”

I would carefully get to the nearest exit as quickly as you can.

There are other color codes used in Walmart stores:

Code Red

This means there's a fire in the store. You'll most likely hear an aisle number after a Code Red.

Code White

Code White means there's a medical emergency, injury, or some kind of accident with a guest or team member.

Code Black

Code Black means there is severe weather nearby.

Code Orange

Code Orange means there's been a chemical spill in the store.

New Jersey has many bustling Walmarts, and these codes help keep things running efficiently.

It’s all about making sure customers can shop in a clean and safe environment.
