Today, Walmart offers grocery pickup at 3,450 locations and same-day delivery at 2,730 stores. Since February, it has expanded time slots by 30% to help meet consumer demand.
Overall, the company also benefited in the quarter from the impact of U.S. consumers’ government stimulus checks. As those stimulus funds ran out, sales began to normalize. But Walmart’s July comparable sales still grew by more than 4%, the company noted.
Walmart’s online marketplace also got a boost from the larger e-commerce bump, with sales up by a triple-digit percentage.
This may worth something:

Ecommerce and content: How retailers have shifted strategies in 2020
Retail doors may be opening, but the experience inside is hardly business as usual. Product-test areas and touchscreens have become hand-sanitizer stations. Packed check-out lines, once reliable for impulse buys, feature X-marks six feet apart. Of course, that's saying you even get inside promptly; to guarantee social distancing, stores like Home Depot limit customer entries to around 100 at a time.
These sanitation measures may seem drastic, but with fears surrounding the highly contagious COVID-19, they're essential adaptations. Even more essential? Ecommerce. New research by Mastercard shows U.S. ecommerce sales were up 92.7% in May 2020, with more than $53 billion spent via ecommerce channels between April and May—the height of the pandemic. For scale, that's more spent online than that last 12 Cyber Mondays combined.
