The ability to designate a different retail location within the Walmart application allows users to view inventory, pricing, and available services specific to that chosen store. This feature is useful, for example, when planning a shopping trip to a store different from the one usually frequented, such as when traveling or visiting family.
This functionality enhances the user experience by providing accurate and relevant information. It removes the guesswork associated with varying stock levels and prices across different branches. Historically, users had to physically visit or call a store to obtain this data, making trip planning inefficient. The in-app feature provides convenience and saves time.
