Study: Consumers choose Walmart for everyday goods — PYMNTS.com

Recent data shows that Walmart’s brick & mortar stores might play a big role in consumer buying habits, particularly when it comes to everyday household and grocery staples:

“Data from last fall, part of a more extensive PYMNTS examination of global shopping habits, shows that consumers purchase more often at Walmart than on Amazon. Walmart’s robust physical presence may influence this choice, which affords convenience over eCommerce in everyday transactions. When shoppers run out of everyday staples, they may not want to wait for a replacement via delivery. Additional proprietary research for the index reflects this behavior, noting a similar pattern in how consumers completed their last purchases.“
