Walmart Launches New Membership Deal, Offers Nearly $100 in Savings

“Walmart isn’t selling a membership. It’s buying a habit.”
Jay Aldebert, speaking to TheStreet

TheStreet quotes Jay Aldebert, Chief Growth Officer at International Services Inc., on Walmart's new $120 bundle of Walmart+ and Sam's Club Plus. He says putting groceries, gas, delivery and warehouse shopping under one fee gives people fewer reasons to shop anywhere else. Once a store is part of someone's weekly routine, he says, “leaving takes effort most people won’t spend.” The article also quotes Walmart President and CEO John Furner on what the membership includes.
