If you're looking for love in all the wrong places, it turns out a Walmart Super Center might be the right place.

Maybe it's the everyday low prices or a shared glance in the check-out line.

Whatever it is, more people thought they saw their future spouse at a Walmart than anywhere else in 15 states. This is according to a new study by "Psychology Today."

Researchers studied "missed connections" on Craigslist. They discovered Walmart is the most popular place for people to find love at first sight.

The study also says not all connections occur at Walmart.

In New York, the subway is frequently cited for making connections. And in California? It's the gym.
