Walmart Canada Beefs Up Ecommerce Offering

Walmart Inc. has rolled out its click-and-collect service to 22 Canadian locations in the cities of Victoria, British Columbia; Regina, Saskatchewan; Quebec City; Moncton, New Brunswick; and Halifax, Nova Scotia. Now available for the first time in Atlantic Canada, the service earlier launched at locations in the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, British Columbia and Manitoba.

The free offering enables shoppers to order online at Walmart.ca or via the Walmart app, and then pick up their orders at a store.
