Wal-Mart to sell build-your-own computers

By

al-Mart Stores Inc. will start selling build-your-own-computer components in more than one-third of its U.S. discount stores this month as it looks for ways to tempt shoppers to buy more than just low-margin food. Very interesting… Now I can go to Wal-Mart and buy a new CPU.

The retailer began testing build-your-own computer counters in about 20 locations last year, and is now introducing them in 1,200 of its 3,200 U.S. discount stores, said spokeswoman Jolanda Stewart. It expects to offer the merchandise in some 1,400 stores by the end of the year, and possibly more in 2007.
