Walmart Triples its Monthly Orders Fulfilled by Stores and Delivered to Customers

BOCA RATON, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, March 7, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Walmart, Target, and Best Buy are committed to using brick-and-mortar locations as distribution centers to fulfill online orders.

“Retailers realized they didn’t have to build distribution centers like what Amazon has done,” said Mitch Gould, Founder and CEO of Nutritional Products International, a global brand management firm based in Boca Raton, Fl. “Big-box retailers are using their own stores as distribution centers, which helps them compete with Amazon’s same day, next day delivery strategy.”

RetailDive.com reported that Walmart fulfills $1 billion in online orders every month, which is triple the revenue since 2021.

Target also has announced a $100 million investment to expand its “store-based hub strategy,” while Best Buy will use “floor space” in some stores to help meet online order demand.

Gould said Walmart has 4,648 locations in the United States, while Target has 1,948 stores.

“Walmart and Target have brick-and-mortar locations within driving distance of millions of consumers,” he added. “This cuts down delivery time tremendously.”

Gould and his NPI team keep track of retail news because the company works with health, wellness, sports nutrition, and beauty brands that want to expand their sales or launch products in the United States.

“I have been in retail for more than 35 years,” Gould said. “I first represented iconic brands such as Igloo and Remington before I started NPI.”

Gould said he realized that product manufacturers often struggled to introduce their products to American consumers.

“The cost of building out a sales network was prohibitive, which is why I developed my ‘Evolution of Distribution’ platform,” he added. “Under the ‘Evolution of Distribution’ system, NPI controls all the services a company might need to sell their products here.

“NPI provides sales support, marketing campaigns, FDA regulatory guidance, and operational expertise,” Gould said. “We emphasize speed to market at an affordable price.”
