November 8, 2012 Black Friday is moving to Thursday! At least for the world's largest retailer. Walmart is rolling out their Black Friday specials in three phases beginning at 8:00pm on Thanksgiving Day followed by its big electronics event at 10 p.m. and a weekend full of savings starting at 5 a.m. on Friday, November 23.
Walmart plans to unleash a new no-fee prepaid debit card by American Express later this week called Bluebird that will be offered nationwide at some 4,000 Walmart stores and through the Bluebird website.
Walmart, the world’s largest retail chain, is currently testing a “scan and go” iPhone application that would allow customers to scan items as they shop and pay more quickly and conveniently at a self-checkout counter.
Because Walmart doesn’t yet blanket enough of the US (and beyond), the retailer is now rolling out smaller versions of itself called Walmart Express stores. And they already seem quite profitable.
Boy, I've tried to get a good spot a time or two at Walmart, but this is ridiculous.
I am SO glad no one was hurt in Tuesday night's mishap on the West End. You drink, you don't drive. Simple stuff.
