Walmart has launched a new service: Walmart Restored. This program will allow consumers to purchase used and refurbished products, making brands like Apple, Samsung Electronics, or KitchenAid.
“In a year when customers are looking for ways to save money, refurbished-like-new products have become an increasingly popular way to cut costs without sacrificing quality.“, said Michael Mosser, General Manager of Marketplace at Walmart in the release.
Walmart would also be trying to open new lines of business in order to increase its sales and continue to compete against Amazon. Although, it is true that the company already had restored products, but had not launched its own brand to give it greater visibility.
«When customers buy a product in the Walmart Restored program, whether it’s a laptop or a kitchen appliance, they can be sure they’re buying from top-notch performance-managed vendors and suppliers. All products listed on the site have been professionally inspected, tested and cleaned, and if for any reason a customer is not satisfied, we offer 90 day free returns to help you shop with confidence» they point out in the statement.
The products will begin to be available on its website, while they will begin to be incorporated in the establishments in the fall.
