When people think of Walmart stores, their first thought is likely about our supercenters where customers can get a vast array of goods like food, clothing, and electronics. However, we are in the process of experimenting with a new model - the Walmart convenience store.

We are already experimenting with the convenience store model in Bentonville, Arkansas, and we’re interested in your thoughts on the best way to deliver a convenience store experience that will delight existing Walmart shoppers as well as attract new customers.

Deliverables

Please complete the following:

1) Describe the ideal convenience store that Walmart could create for its shoppers.

2) Describe the experience your store would provide to shoppers, and how it would entice existing and new Walmart customers.

· How does it deliver on the promise of convenience?

· How is it different from a traditional convenience store?

3) What role does consumer and/or retail technology play in delivering a positive experience for the customers?
