Walmart is adopting a strategy similar to Target's by using its 4,700 U.S. stores to fulfill e-commerce orders, aiming to compete more effectively with Amazon's online dominance. Walmart CFO John David Rainey emphasized the advantage of their physical footprint for last-mile delivery. Target's 'stores-as-hubs' model, which fulfills 95% of digital orders from store inventories, has been successful, and Walmart is now reallocating store space for digital order sorting and shipping. Walmart's approach could enhance delivery speed, a key factor in e-commerce competition, especially during the holiday season where Amazon leads in online gift shopping.
