The layout will bring greater visibility to sections dedicated to electronics, toys, baby products and more. Signs inside and outside stores will be updated to reflect the Walmart app icon, and visual reminders will encourage shoppers to download the app and use its item finder and map to navigate around the store. Whiteside said the design was inspired by "airport wayfinding systems as best-in-class examples of how to navigate large groups of people." "By the end of this fiscal year, the experience will be in nearly 200 Supercenters as well as in select Health Centers and Neighborhood Markets, reaching close to 1,000 stores by next fiscal year," Whiteside said in a blog post Wednesday. 13-14 with select deals now available for members Prime Day 2020: Amazon confirms annual Prime Day sale will be Oct. ![]() Trump says the recovery is a V, Biden says it's a K.

She said the design will come to more stores this fall and will continue to evolve based on additional feedback. "We think customers are going to really enjoy and find this a much easier shopping experience." "We're working hard to make it easy for customers to be able to toggle between their physical experiences that are in the store and their digital journeys," Whiteside said in an interview with USA TODAY. Janey Whiteside, the retailer's chief customer officer and an executive vice president, said the design was planned before the coronavirus pandemic and one of the goals is to save shoppers time. Walmart unveiled a reimagined store design Wednesday rolling out to 200 locations this fiscal year, which ends in early 2021, and 1,000 by next fiscal year that officials said will create a "seamless" omni shopping experience with more self-checkout kiosks and contactless payment options. Both also offer complete e-commerce sales services, but have chosen to supplement that and the brick-and-mortar retail environment with in-store self-service touchscreens.Īll of which is perhaps another sign that rather than replacing kiosks and self-service endpoints in store environments, m-commerce and e-commerce will instead combine with self-service for a full spectrum of ways to engage consumers and capture consumer dollars wherever, whenever and however possible.įor more information on in-store kiosks and self-service, visit our Customer Experience research center.Watch Video: Walmart unveils new store design with self-checkout kiosksĪ trip to Walmart might soon remind you of shopping on the retailer's app. One dominates concert ticket sales from coast to coast the other does the same to general retail. This latest integration of self-service technology into the retail environment, even as a hybrid self-/assisted-service deployment, is a significant one, both because of the sheer number of units rolled out essentially at once and because of the backing of two highly visible corporate entities, Ticketmaster and Walmart. "In addition, Ticketmaster will continue to work closely with our clients to create exclusive high value offers for Walmart customers." "By integrating ticketing into Walmart stores, we are able to offer fans this very convenient way to learn about upcoming events, purchase and take home tickets without leaving their neighborhood," said Nathan Hubbard, CEO of Ticketmaster. It's not a complete, end-to-end self-service solution, however, as Walmart employees help complete the transaction and printout the tickets, after the customer is finished browsing. The actual number of announced ticketing kiosks in Walmart stores is closer to 550, with 44 in the San Francisco bay area 69 in and around Los Angeles 22 in the San Diego area 145 across Texas 45 in the New York City area 42 in North Carolina 82 around Philadelphia 54 in Indiana 38 in South Florida and more than 100 in New England.Īccording to the announcements released yesterday - one for each area - the point-of-sale touchscreens in Walmart electronics departments allow shoppers to browse available tickets for upcoming live shows, concerts and sporting events. Walmart and Ticketmaster yesterday announced that they had jointly rolled out more than 500 self-service ticketing kiosks to Walmart stores around the country. ![]()
