BENTONVILLE (dpa-AFX) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) Thursday said its stores would continue to receive many of the season's hottest toys, electronics and home goods until December 24, in order to ensure that last-minute shoppers get the gifts they want at a great price.
The firm said its in-person interviews with over 2,200 customers in Walmart stores across the U.S. on December 13 found more than one-third plan to shop for last-minute gifts on Super Saturday, the last Saturday before Christmas.
The retailer is also helping customers get in and out quickly by creating designated areas near the front of its stores with popular last-minute gifts such as stocking stuffers, gift sets and gift cards.
Customers can also choose to order from tens of thousands of items on Walmart.com by December 23 and receive free same-day pickup in stores on December 24.
