Walmart continues TX investment with Mesquite Neighborhood Market store. Share via: Walmart has opened a new Neighborhood Market in Mesquite, Texas, creating more than 150 jobs in the community. The 45,000-square-foot store at 3100 E. Cartwright Road was designed around the needs of local customers, with a localized assortment, fresh and convenient food options and flexible ways to shop. "We're excited to open our doors and become part of the Mesquite community," said Jacquataye Anderson, store manager. "Our team is ready to serve our neighbors and give customers a convenient place to find the fresh food and everyday essentials they need, along with the value they expect from Walmart." The store features Walmart's next-generation Neighborhood Market design, including wider aisles, updated signage and a streamlined checkout experience. Fresh food offerings include sushi prepared in-store, fresh-cut fruit, grab-and-go meals, deli selections and fresh tortillas. The store also carries a full grocery assortment and household essentials and offers custom cake decorating. Customers can shop in-store or through pickup or delivery, including Express Delivery in as little as 30 minutes. The store's pharmacy provides prescription delivery, immunizations, medication counseling and health consultations. "Our pharmacy team is excited to get to know our patients and be a healthcare resource they can turn to," said Julee Schieber, pharmacy manager. "Whether someone needs a prescription, an immunization or answers to questions about their medication, we're here to help." Walmart associates, local leaders and community organizations celebrated the opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. As part of the celebration, the store provided $8,000 in grants to four local organizations: Odds Are Against Us, The Blossoming Village Foundation, Project Mom Bags and Dedicated Hands Corporation. "With new residential and business developments quickly moving in, such as the nearby Solterra, Talia and other surrounding neighborhoods, this is a wonderful time of growth and opportunity here in Mesquite," said Mesquite Mayor Daniel Alemán Jr. "Our city council places high priority on supporting business and building a vibrant economy, and we are excited to welcome Walmart to South Mesquite to help deliver everyday conveniences for our residents in this area." Walmart said the Mesquite store is the latest example of its continued investment in Texas through new stores, remodels and supply chain infrastructure. In the past five years, Walmart has invested more than $2.5 billion in Texas stores, and it plans to remodel 72 locations across the state in 2026. Earlier this year, the company opened a milk processing facility in Robinson, Texas, creating more than 400 jobs. In the past year, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation contributed $204.5 million to Texas nonprofits, including the donation of 100.2 million pounds of food to help fight hunger across the state. Walmart Neighborhood Markets are smaller than a traditional Walmart Supercenter and carry fresh produce, meat and dairy products, bakery and deli items, pantry staples, household goods, health and beauty products and pet supplies, along with an in-store pharmacy. Each week, about 270 million customers and members visit Walmart Inc.'s more than 10,750 stores and numerous e-commerce websites in 19 countries. With fiscal year 2026 revenue of $713 billion, Walmart employs about 2.1 million associates worldwide. For more Walmart news, view its Walmart news page.

Mix expands Coach, Kate Spade sales through Google AI tools. 25/09/2026 by Jacqueline Mercer Derma Desk Mix has added Coach and Kate Spade products to Google's AI-powered shopping tools, including the Gemini app and AI Mode. This integration lets consumers buy directly through Google Search without exiting the platform, completing purchases via Google Pay. The collaboration uses the Universal Commerce Protocol, a system that connects retailers with AI shopping platforms. The service launched in the U.S. and will roll out internationally. Mix follows competitors like Ulta Beauty and Walmart, which have also made their inventories available through Google's AI features. Some observers warn that third-party AI integrations may weaken direct retailer-customer connections. However, Yang Lu, Mix's Chief Information and Data Officer, stated that the change does not disrupt data collection. Orders processed through Google still integrate into Mix's existing systems, just as they would on the company's own websites. Joanne Crevoiserat, chief executive officer of Mix, said in a statement: "Our goal is for shoppers to find and engage with our brands at the moment when inspiration strikes, whether it be when a consumer passes by one of our stores, peruses our websites, or chats with AI." Google has been promoting its AI shopping tools, such as virtual try-ons and price comparisons, to appeal to both retailers and consumers. The tech company's AI Mode, introduced last year, merges Gemini's features with its Shopping Graph to improve product discovery and recommendations. Mix's financial results show continued strength despite the shift. Fourth-quarter revenue rose 9% year-over-year to $1.9 billion, with net income reaching $347.8 million, reversing a prior-year loss. Coach led growth with a 15% revenue increase to $1.6 billion, while Kate Spade experienced a 7% decline to $235 million. For consumers, the integration simplifies the purchasing process - eliminating redirects and extra logins. For Mix, the move tests whether AI-driven sales can maintain customer engagement without losing control. The company believes offering flexibility will keep shoppers connected rather than driving them away.
Amazon will now manage your Walmart and TikTok sales for you. Alexa Alix Last Updated: September 24, 2026 3 minutes read Amazon announced multichannel selling tools at its Accelerate conference on September 24, letting sellers connect their eBay, Shopify, TikTok Shop, and Walmart accounts and manage listings, orders, and profitability from inside Seller Central. The rollout is gradual, US-only, and free. Amazon's framing is that it wants sellers to succeed "no matter where they sell, in Amazon's store or anywhere else." The more useful way to read it: Amazon is moving from owning one channel to owning the workflow across all of them. What the tools actually do. At launch, sellers can connect accounts on the other platforms, import and link listings, view all orders in one place, and fulfill across channels. Amazon says more capabilities and more channels are coming. The stated problem is real. The same product typically lives as separate listings on Amazon, a seller's own site, Shopify, eBay, Walmart, and TikTok, each with its own dashboard, rules, and blind spots. Amazon cites that more than 95% of its independent sellers already sell across multiple channels. Amazon also announced at Accelerate that US merchants using Multi-Channel Fulfillment can now offer Prime delivery on off-Amazon orders. The reversal this represents. Five years ago Amazon was the obstacle to multichannel selling. FBA charged more to ship off-Amazon orders. Unbranded packaging was still in beta. Products priced lower elsewhere could be suppressed, which remains true today. The sequence since then has been steady. Buy with Prime brought Amazon checkout and fulfillment to independent websites. MCF added integrations with Walmart, Shopify, and SHEIN. Amazon Warehousing and Distribution stores bulk inventory and restocks other channels. This is the same pattern EcomCrew documented in how Amazon quietly replaced third-party seller tools, where survey data showed 60% of sellers no longer using repricing software, up from 33% in 2021. Amazon absorbed the tooling layer inside its own ecosystem. Now it's extending that absorption to competitors' platforms. The data question Amazon hasn't answered. GeekWire, reporting from the conference, raised the obvious concern: what does Amazon do with data from a seller's business on rival platforms? Amazon has a documented history of using third-party seller data to inform its own private label decisions, which is part of what the FTC's antitrust case addresses. Connecting your Walmart and TikTok Shop performance into Seller Central hands Amazon visibility into how your products perform where it doesn't currently compete for the sale. Amazon hasn't published terms governing how connected channel data gets used. That's the question to ask before connecting anything. Why Amazon can afford to help competitors. The economics work even if sellers grow elsewhere. An MCF order from Walmart is Amazon revenue generated by Walmart's customer. But the multichannel tools are free and function whether or not you ship through Amazon, so fulfillment revenue isn't the whole rationale. PYMNTS framed the strategic logic clearly: Amazon is moving from owning the transaction to owning the merchant workflow. An AI agent that sees only Amazon sales has an incomplete picture of a multichannel seller. One that sees activity across Amazon, Walmart, Shopify, TikTok, and eBay has far richer context for identifying demand, inventory, and profitability patterns. That connects to the other Accelerate announcement: Seller Assistant is shifting from answering questions to running always-on workflows for restocking, pricing, and account health monitoring. An operating layer with cross-channel visibility is considerably more capable than one confined to a single marketplace. What to weigh before connecting. The operational benefit is genuine. Consolidating order management across five platforms saves real time, and Amazon isn't charging for it. The tradeoff is that reducing Amazon dependence is the reason most sellers diversify in the first place. Running your other channels through Amazon's software means the diversification exists at the sales layer while the operational dependency consolidates. If you connect, do it selectively. Start with one channel rather than all four, and keep your own records of cross-channel performance outside Seller Central so the data relationship isn't one-directional. The tools are free, which means the cost is somewhere other than the invoice.
Walmart unveils $45 cashmere sweater, bringing Mongolian luxury to the masses. The cashmere crewneck can be found as part of the retailer's in-house Free Assembly brand, known for elevated basics and trend-forward pieces for men and women September 24, 2026, 8:47pm If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on its website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Walmart is getting into the cashmere game with a new $45 sweater that shoppers are stocking up on. The cashmere crewneck sweater can be found as part of the retailer's in-house Free Assembly brand, which is known for its elevated basics and trend-forward pieces for men and women. While the brand originally launched in 2020, it's now under the direction of celebrity stylist-turned-fashion designer Brandon Maxwell, who is also the creative director of Walmart's private-label womenswear brand, Scoop. Maxwell was best known for working with Lady Gaga, and has worked to bring a similar elevated and contemporary sensibility to Walmart's fashion lines. Still, while Gaga was known for her over-the-top style, this Free Assembly cashmere sweater is decidedly more toned down. WARDROBE STAPLE Free Assembly women's cashmere sweater. Walmart's women's cashmere crewneck is available in eight different colors online and sizes XS to XXL. The sweater features a trim fit with ribbed hem and cuffs, plus a structured neckline. This is actually a 98 percent cashmere sweater - with the other two percent comprising spandex and other fibers. In a product description, Walmart calls this the "ultimate everyday luxury for less," adding that the sweater offers a "look that's effortlessly chic and laid-back." Reviewers, meantime, are raving about the sweater, with one verified shopper writing that, "This cashmere sweater is unbelievably soft, beautifully made and feels every bit as luxurious as sweaters I've purchased from high-end brands costing several times more. It looks incredibly elegant." MEN'S RELEASE Free Assembly men's cashmere crewneck sweater. Walmart also sells this men's cashmere crewneck, available in ten different colors and sizes XS to 2XL. Walmart says the sweater is made from 100% cashmere sourced directly from "inner Mongolian herders." The sweater is also certified by The Good Cashmere Standard (GCS), which is an industry benchmark for ethical and responsible cashmere production, with a focus on animal welfare and environmental production. Almost 90% of reviewers give this sweater a full five-star rating. One verified shopper says it's a "Great product for the price," while another boasts that "the quality is also amazing." I've personally bought the sweater in the "castle gray" colorway (as seen above) and in a "sandstone," camel-like shade. Walmart is the latest retailer to introduce an affordable cashmere sweater to the market, following the lead of brands like Quince and Uniqlo. ALSO CONSIDER Mongolian cashmere crewneck sweater. Quince has been selling a $50 cashmere sweater for women for the last few years, proudly promoting the fact that it works with its factories to pass on the savings to consumers. Quince says this sweater is made from 100% Grade-A Mongolian cashmere and produced in BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative) certified factories, which offer fair wages and transparency on working conditions throughout the supply chain. And while you can pick it up online right now for 50 bucks, Quince says a similar piece would cost $148 at "traditional retail." Choose from eight colors online and women's sizes XS to XL. You can also pick up a men's cashmere sweater for $59 at Quince.com. Why trust WWD.

The move suggests practical cooperation between the retailers and could support Walmart's e-commerce ecosystem. * Walmart opened a new Neighborhood Market in Mesquite, Texas, expanding its grocery, pharmacy and convenience-store footprint. The smaller-format strategy may help Walmart capture local grocery demand and support omnichannel growth. * Analysts continue to identify Walmart as a potential beneficiary of omnichannel retail, private-label brands, loyalty programs, automation and retail-media growth. These businesses could improve customer retention and diversify profit sources. * Walmart reversed course on in-store digital-wallet payments, a customer-experience and payments update whose financial impact is not yet clear. The company is also testing renewed healthcare efforts after a costly retreat, which could offer long-term growth but carries execution risk. * A recent analysis downgraded Walmart, arguing that the company's rich valuation is not fully supported by earnings growth and profitability.
