The World’s largest retailer may test its first fresh grocery delivery service in California, looking on-line for new sources of revenue growth, said a person familiar with the project.According to Bloomberg the web service, internally dubbed Project Titan, “hasn’t yet been approved and may not happen. If it goes forward, Walmart stores in the San Jose area would fill deliveries for shoppers living nearby.”
Walmart recently appointed a new top executive to its on-line operations, in the form of Richard Ramsden, who previously headed up home shopping for Walmart’s U.K. arm, Asda. Ramsden is now working at the retailer’s Walmart.com headquarters in Brisbane, California.
Last year, Walmart.com expanded its dry grocery assortment to include breakfast items, beverages, snacks and candy. At the same time, the site started free same- day pickup of on-line orders in its stores, which will be available at all locations by June.
