Walmart announced that on-line sales attained $900 million in March. This was 21 percent higher than in February 2020 and double the value achieved in March 2019. Sales included “click-and-collect” and home delivery of groceries purchased online.
Average tab for orders was $127 in early March dropping to $98 later in the month.
Although on-line sales soared it is evident that in-store sales decreased. It will be interesting to review the next quarterly report for Walmart to determine the effect of COVID-19 on sales both in the U.S. and in their international stores.
