Walmart to Clean Up the Clutter
There are many things customers dislike about Walmart the massive big-box retailer has little intention of doing anything about. Long lines, relatively poor service, the Running of the Bulls atmosphere on Black Friday and the chaos throughout the holiday shopping season. The company sees no upside in fixing issues customers have come to expect. Sure, they might gripe a bit, but they keep coming in droves … so why fight it?
But that doesn’t mean the powers in control of Sam Walton’s commercial juggernaut are not trying to get better. They still want to boost sales. And they believe they have found a way to do that … and, coincidentally, make shopping better for their customers … maybe. According to a new article in the Wall Street Journal, Walmart plans to scale back on the number of products it offers in its brick and mortar stores, in, they said, an effort to improve sales. The motivation for this effort, according to the report, is an opportunity to deliver wider aisles and less clutter in their stores … something Walmart shoppers should cheer.
