This holiday season, as you peruse the aisles of your local Walmart, you might come across a five-foot-tall Nutcracker decoration. Over at Sam’s Club, the glint of a lab-grown diamond might catch your eye. And overseas, it might be wasabi macadamia nuts that find their way into your cart.
These products are but three small examples of the bets being placed by the chief merchants and top sourcing executive at Walmart Inc.’s major divisions to win the highly competitive holiday season. These items didn’t just land on shelves randomly, of course.
