Wal-Mart carries no lenses. I don't think I have even seen a film SLR ever on display.
A number of malls may have a Ritz Camera shop in them. Depending on the 'level' of mall, the Ritz Camera shop might have the lense you are looking for. Level of mall meaning High-End Boutique, Middling or Low-end. The High End Mall Ritz Camera shop in my area carries the Canon Speedlight Flashes and a number of Canon Lenses. The Middling Mall Ritz Camera shop, closer to my house, doesn't have anything nearly that 'cool'. (Per the guy behind the counter.)
Your best bet would be to check www.excite.com's Yellow Pages for the area you will be in. You might find a handful of small specialty camera shops. Those should carry what you are looking for. However, you may want to call them and get their hours...
In my area, Detroit Michigan, there are only 3 or 4 small camera shops that I am aware of. One of them has some strange hours of operation, open 9 to 9 on Mon and Thur, open 9 to 6 Tues, Wed and Fri. I would love to head into them, but their hours of operation are hard to work my schedule around.
