Walmart expands curbside grocery pickup

Customers in more cities will have an easier time shopping for the groceries at Walmart. According to Reuters, Walmart is rolling out free curbside pickup of online grocery orders to eight new cities, which will make the service available in about 200 stores in 30 metropolitan areas across the U.S. Additional cities offering grocery pickup will include Kansas City and Austin, Texas. Walmart COO Michael Bender said the retailer so far is gaining new customers and increased wallet share at stores where the service is offered and may roll it out further. [Reuters]
