Walmart expands Scan & Go to 12 more markets
Walmart announced it is expanding the Scan & Go checkout app to a dozen more markets, nearly tripling the number of stores involved in the pilot program from 70 to 200, Reuters reported.
The increase still amounts to only a fraction of Walmart's more than 4,000 U.S. stores.
"We want our customer feedback to dictate the experience," Gibu Thomas, senior vice president of mobile and digital at Walmart Global eCommerce, said in the report. "You'll see this roll out to more markets."
