The activities of the Walmart service station are about to grow in physical size this year.
The retailer told Fox Business that more than 45 fuel and convenience stations should make their debut or be reworked this year.
This will help allow the company to “continue to offer a better class and practical shopping experience, emphasizing accessibility and ease”, according to Walmart.
“By adding dozens of fuel and convenience stations this year, we bring even more value to our customers,” said Dave Deserio, US vice-president of Walmart, in a statement. “Customers buy Walmart for our low prices every day and our convenience offers, and fuel stations are another example that we meet our customer and members.”
