    Walmart continues to be the retail behemoth making headlines this week as Labor Day landed on Monday September 1 2025 The big headline is that while the rest of America hit pause with banks government offices stock markets and even Costco shuttered Walmart kept doors open nationwide albeit with some locations trimming hours and scaling back in store services like the pharmacy and vision centers according to the Economic Times Outlets kept to the usual 6 am to 11 pm schedule but individual stores were allowed to close a bit earlier if needed and shoppers were advised to double check local hours For fans of routine Walmart delivered business as usual for the holiday while reminding everyone to move their shopping list up a day or risk missing those evening essentials

    Beyond keeping America’s Labor Day cookouts afloat there was buzzy news from CEO Doug McMillon who publicly shared that by the end of this year Walmart will deliver to 95 percent of the US population in under three hours A company letter to shareholders gleamed with pride as McMillon described the supply chain and logistics upgrades promising a faster more flexible and highly automated delivery experience Notably he pointed to the chain’s expansion in China and India where delivery windows have shrunk to mere minutes alongside US cities seeing next day or even same day reach

    On the business development front Walmart revealed it is revamping its Pro Seller Program for Marketplace sellers at the end of September The biggest shakeup Sellers now need more than just sharp prices to qualify for top tier promotions The new system introduces escalating benchmarks for price competitiveness and only sellers who combine great pricing with free two day or faster shipping will unlock exclusive Pro Listings discounts This is seen as positioning Walmart’s online marketplace for even greater relevance heading into the holiday shopping bonanza

    Physical stores are not being left behind as the retail titan continues remodeling more than 650 stores this year in what is dubbed the Store of the Future Think digital touchpoints more engaging experiential zones and upgraded pharmacies according to the retail trade press Walmart is betting big that a digitally enhanced bricks and mortar experience will keep consumers coming back

  • Walmart's Billion-Dollar Moves: AI, Expansion, and Gen Z Buzz

    Walmart's Billion-Dollar Moves: AI, Expansion, and Gen Z Buzz
    Aug 9 2025
    Walmart BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Walmart has been making plenty of headlines this week, starting with a huge settlement in California over alleged scanner price overcharges and false advertising. The Los Angeles Times reports Walmart agreed to pay 5.6 million dollars to resolve claims it charged customers more than advertised, including baked goods and produce sometimes weighing less than packaging labels promised. The settlement requires Walmart to step up its pricing accuracy in California, a familiar issue as they faced similar accusations back in 2012. According to the Sonoma County District Attorney, Walmart must now put regional compliance teams on the job to make sure shoppers really get what they pay for.

    Turning to business news, Walmart just dropped 6.5 billion dollars on Canadian expansion, their largest investment since entering the country thirty years ago, according to a Thursday press release cited by PYMNTS. Over the next five years, Walmart Canada plans dozens of new stores, five Supercentres opening by 2027, and a major new distribution center scheduled for spring 2025. In a twist, they’re also selling their Canadian truck fleet to Canada Cartage—insiders say this streamlines their logistics so they can focus on growth and let the pros handle the trucks.

    Stateside, Walmart’s U.S. e-commerce operations have turned profitable for the first time in 2025, with International Supermarket News highlighting a 20 percent cut in fulfillment costs and delivery speeds nearly doubling. Behind the curtain is Sparky, Walmart’s new AI shopping assistant, now live in their app and part of a suite of “super agents”—AI tools for buyers, store associates, and suppliers. These tech upgrades aren’t just behind the scenes: in stores, new smart checkout lanes with computer vision and even some robots scan shelves and change prices in real time.

    In its ongoing bid to not just be the biggest but also the coolest, Walmart is trying out a bit of Gen Z magic with a tour called Walmart Delivers. The Street and Walmart’s own event page spell out the campaign: five flashy mobile stores, each with a vibe—think K-Pop, lo-fi gaming, and wellness—rolling out to music festivals and marathons in big cities this fall. It’s tailor-made for TikTok-age shoppers, promising photo ops and themed giveaways, though coverage on The Street points out the “hip” branding may not quite land with everyone above 35.

    On social media, Walmart kept a steady beat in family life, with influencers like Simple Wife Simple Life sharing grocery hauls on YouTube that spotlight affordable meal planning. Meanwhile, marketers continue to study trends that started with Walmart, like the viral Gen Z Stare, still churning through X and Reddit. So whether it’s the courtroom, the checkout line, or the TikTok feed, there’s never a dull moment in the Walmart universe—always innovating, sometimes litigating, and determined to be part of your next selfie.

    Picture this I have just wrapped up one of the busiest couple of days in retail history First off the headlines the end of August will see Walmart closing its Coon Rapids Minnesota location a fixture in the area since 1990 leaving 176 employees affected Fox 9 and CBS News Minnesota report that these layoffs kick in permanently after a 90 day paid job search period for employees The company says it is all about financial results and the store's older layout with less focus on groceries just does not match where customer demands are trending That is a sign of a bigger shakeup Walmart is modernizing 650 stores across 47 states with upgrades running up to a million dollars each as part of a massive transformation push This is not just about shiny new fixtures either There is a real tech edge Walmart Global Tech has now embedded AI everywhere from shopping to supply chains to employee efficiency and the Sparky assistant inside the mobile app lets shoppers use natural language to plan meals and get suggestions Internally even warehouse robots and micro fulfillment centers are making operations sleeker delivering a 20 percent drop in fulfillment costs and a 47 percent jump in speed This digital play paid off Walmart's US e-commerce division finally turned profitable in 2025
