Reuters reports that more than one-third of Wal-Mart stores will start selling CPUs, monitors, mice and whatnot this month as the mega-chain “looks for ways to tempt shoppers to buy more than just low-margin food.” Something about the phrase “low-margin food” is funny.
Anyway, analysts say the likes of Dell, etc. need not be threatened by the deep-discount chain as the latter offers a greater selection of components. And if Dell is concerned, it could give Wal-Mart a taste of its own medicine and start selling beef jerky and underwear.
