Leaked Walmart memo reveals competitive threats
I think Wal*Mart has an image problem.I’ve gone into their stores.  Their stock assortment isn’t bad compared to the competition.  In fact, aside from Whole Foods on the organic/bio side of things, they measure up very well and better compared to their competition.  They are more of a hypermart where you can do one stop shopping ala Carrefour.The issues I see are: very drab color palette. Working class shoppers.  Sure, it’s elitist, but people like shopping alongside people in their own stratum.They could likely address this by having a second more upscale brand.
