Walmart China opens two next-generation stores

Walmart China unveiled two new next-generation stores in Kunming, Yunnan province, in December, marking a major step in the retailer's transformation strategy.

Walmart aims to cater to precise consumer needs by enhancing product offerings, expanding omnichannel capabilities, and creating long-term value to foster deeper customer loyalty, said the company.

The new generation stores integrate customer-driven design principles across 16 themed sections, reflecting everyday consumption scenarios such as breakfast, hot pot, travel, pet care and global products.
