Walmart "Delighted" With Grocery In-Store Pickup

The rumblings are getting louder.  Walmart is reportedly "delighted" with the grocery pickup store it has opened.  All of retail is changing, fast, or will become yesterday's store.

Here is a snippet from that piece:

Walmart officials said Thursday that they were “delighted” with the performance of its nascent Grocery Pickup facility, but noted it was only one of several fronts under attack in an ongoing global war to win virtual food shopping.

The facility, which allows shoppers to place online grocery orders for drive-up retrieval in as little as two hours, opened near its Bentonville, Ark., headquarters eight months ago and remains under examination before officials commit to expanding the concept to additional sites or cities, Keiran Shanahan, VP of operations for Walmart.com, said during a presentation at the site as part of Walmart’s Shareholders Week events.

Happy Reading,
