Walmart is taking fulfillment operations to the store.
The discounter has opened a high-tech market fulfillment center (MFC), at store 100 in its hometown of Bentonville, Ark. It’s the second nationwide, with the first being a proof of concept located in Salem, N.H. Walmart plans to continue opening MFCs in select stores in the coming years.
The expansion of the MFC concept is in line with the retailer’s strategic move toward expanding the use of its stores as fulfillment centers to enhance the shopping experience for customers everywhere.
