This trend highlights a shift in consumer behavior, as higher-income shoppers are increasingly turning to Walmart for grocery purchases, even as lower-income households remain a core segment. The discussion delves into the implications of these changes, particularly how Walmart's customer experience may be driving this success compared to other retailers.
