Everyone loves an underdog story, but it's hard to find an underdog in this fight. Walmart, America's largest retailer, announced Tuesday it will share its U.S. delivery network with other businesses, opening a new competitive front against Amazon, the world's largest online retailer.
Dubbed Walmart GoLocal, the new service will let local and national businesses in the U.S. — from bakeries to clothing shops to auto parts sellers — tap Walmart's in-house fleet to handle deliveries. It's launching just in time to be up and running for the frenetic holiday season.
