Watch out Amazon.com, cvs.com, drugstore.com, walgreens.com and every other online merchant selling everyday health and beauty care items online. Walmart.com has entered the business.
The online division of Wal-Mart Stores announced earlier this week that it would begin selling the very same beauty products, over-the-counter remedies and personal care items online that it sells in stores.
"Customers have long trusted Walmart to provide the best values on health and beauty brands in our stores, and now customers can also access these savings online at Walmart.com with the convenience of home delivery," said Kelly Thompson, Walmart.com's chief merchant, in a press release. "By offering savings on our customers' favorite health and beauty items online and in our stores, we can better help our customers shop the way they want."
Discussion Questions: What will Walmart.com's entry into health and beauty care product sales mean for it and Walmart's stores? What will it mean for competitors?
