Wal-mart

Walmart could buy a 15 per cent to 20 per cent stake in Amazon.com Inc's main competitor in India, the newspaper said, citing two anonymous sources.

eBay will guarantee that the roughly 50,000 new products on its Deals site will be at least as cheap as identical items sold by Amazon, Wal-Mart, Target, and other major retailers on the Web.

Amazon's purchase of Whole Foods also brings disruption to the $700 billion U.S. grocery sector, a traditional area of retailing that stands on the precipice of a ferocious price war.

Winning back-to-school, the second-biggest shopping season after the winter holidays, has become extremely important for traditional brick-and-mortar retailers.

The online retailer's move directly challenges Wal-Mart - the biggest beneficiary of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

AmazonFresh Pickup spots let shoppers buy groceries online and pick them up in as little as 15 minutes rather than having them delivered to their homes.

Wal-Mart Stores, the 800-pound gorilla of retail, is running hard to catch up in an increasingly crucial segment where it is neither the biggest nor the best: e-commerce.

Wal-Mart spent $3.3 billion last year to buy Jet.com, which was started by e-commerce entrepreneur Marc Lore, whose previous company was sold to Amazon for $550 million.

Poverty-fighting organisation Oxfam America said the sum for 2015 was a $200 billion increase over the prior year.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc is running a new price-comparison test in at least 1,200 U.S. stores and squeezing packaged goods suppliers in a bid to close a pricing gap with German-based discount grocery chain Aldi and other U.S. rivals like Kroger Co, according to four sources familiar with the moves.

All three indices tallied closing all-time highs, with the Dow notching a record for an eighth straight session.

President-elect Donald Trump Tuesday trumpeted a trio of major company announcements pledging additional investments in the United States as proof his America-first stance on the economy is already producing results.

The number of jobs being created is consistent with previous years, said Lorenzo Lopez, a spokesman for Wal-Mart, the largest US retailer and private employer.

The deputy said he was on a routine patrol in Greenacres, Fla., Saturday morning when he spotted the blue Toyota in a Wal-Mart parking lot. It wasn't the look of the vehicle that caught his attention but the smell emanating from it - an odor "similar to that of homeless camps," he said.

The Iowa Wal-Mart where three people died after a pickup truck crashed into the store plans to reopen on Sunday.
