Why is Walmart still popular in this era of online shopping

[Homey the clown]

I don't care where you are in Americs when you go to any Walmart especially on the weekend Walmart is packed.Last year Walmart had a Revenue of $500.34 billiion . So while other brick and mortar retailers are barely surviving why hasn't the era of online shopping hurt Walmart while it has hurt retailers such as Toys R Us, Jcpenney, Sears etc. Why are shopping malls shutting down and barely getting foot traffic .While Walmart's around the country are packed almost daily?

Because it's cheap and the one stop shop where you can buy a TV, motor oil, underwear, a 5th of Henn, fruit, baby formula, power drill and condoms at the same time.

WALMART DOES PRICE MATCH WITH OTHER STORES
AND ONLINE RETAILERS.

Why is a place that's cheap and takes cash popular?

 

[Jayou Ayen]

Walmart is all those places in one, and as Uncletomford said, it’s the cheapest.

Because I can go to walmart and buy a go pro, bread, and a machete all at the same place and not worry about waiting a week for it to arrive or getting stolen off my doorstep when it arrives. And I can see the shyt in person and not look at reviews about the stuff. The problem with some of these places is they don't even have the stuff they sell online in their stores. Like best buy. They'll have stuff that's cheaper and not the super popular brands, but still good, online but you go to the store and they have a whole damn apple section setup. And a whole damn Samsung section set up just for phones.

Because Walmart destroyed all of its brick and motor competition 20 years ago. They basically formed a Voltron in every city in the United States.

Also its basically the same price of Amazon and there's bad bytches

Because you can get damn near anything you need there. Only other places like that is target(more expensive) Costco/sams club(membership)

It mostly caters to the older demographic...the type of folks with AOL accounts, landlines, no direct deposit and get the sunday paper for coupons...


Also they thrive in small towns because it's usually the only thing open past 8 pm....if it's open 24 hours in a small town/city it's Club Walmart people go there to be seen

Walmart also stepped up the online shopping game, so their good in that area as well.

I think they have free 2 day shipping to complete with Prime.

In a country where most people don't plan ahead and want things immediately, 30 min walmart trip > 24+ hour amazon shipping.
