customers arrive at their local Walmart store, the app changes its
interface with features to help customers view local ads, access
local store pricing and see the aisle location of products carried
in that specific store. Walmart is the only major retailer to
offer "in-store mode" across all of its 4,000 U.S. stores.
- Black Friday Interactive Store Map: For the first time
and available later today, customers can view an interactive local
store map on their mobile phones. These mobile maps enable
customers to view Black Friday specials and click on these items to
see the price, product description and location in the
store.
*Savings of $1,000 specific to
one item only.
Black Friday online specials available Nov. 22 and 23; Cyber Week specials available
Nov. 24 through Dec. 2.

shipped.
