“#Walmart repurposing warehouses to ship online orders faster<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Walmart is repurposing some of its massive distribution warehouses to help it deliver online orders faster ahead of the holiday shopping season.<\/p>\n

The nation\u2019s biggest retailer \u2014 which is gearing up for another battle against Amazon for holiday web sales \u2014 said it will set up \u201cpop-up\u201d e-commerce distribution centers within 42 of its regional warehouses, which usually ship large pallets of goods to Walmart stores.<\/p>\n

The move will help the Arkansas-based chain send out packages more quickly without taking the time to build new warehouses during a holiday shopping season that\u2019s expected to see increased demand for online shopping because of the coronavirus pandemic, according to Greg Smith, executive vice president of supply chain at Walmart US.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe flexibility to pop-up [a distribution center] anytime our supply chain network experiences peak demand allows us to deliver for our customers when they need us the most,\u201d Smith said in a Thursday news release<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pop-up facilities will ship as much as 30 percent of Walmart\u2019s online order volume during the holidays, according to The Wall Street Journal<\/a>. They\u2019ll be staffed by existing workers at the regional warehouses along with some of the more than 20,000 seasonal workers Walmart is hiring for its dedicated e-commerce fulfillment centers, the paper reported.<\/p>\n

Walmart has put a greater emphasis on online shopping for the holidays by spreading its Black Friday discounts throughout November and offering the deals on its website before they\u2019re available in stores.<\/p>\n

Sam\u2019s Club, the company\u2019s wholesale arm, plans to ship some internet orders directly from some of its stores, an option that the chain expects to account for a fifth of all its online orders.<\/p>\n

Walmart shares were up about 1 percent at $149.78 as of 1:20 p.m. Friday.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
