The Hudson County Sheriff's office says roughly 700 customers and employees were evacuated from the store in Secaucus after the threat was received around 2 p.m. Monday. It's located in the Harmon Meadow Cove shopping plaza.

Authorities believe the New Jersey call is related to at least a dozen similar threats that have been received at Wal-Marts in Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri in recent days. No explosives were found in those incidents.
