Walmart goes online with groceries

Walmart has started listing the groceries it stocks online in a Beta section of their website listing thousands of food and other grocery-type products. The site also communicates nutritional information to consumers.

The website lists items ranging from prepared salads and cooked shrimp to dog food and lipstick listed on the site, which is the second busiest on the Internet after Amazon. While the listed products are not available for home delivery they are linked to a "search in store" facility, allowing consumers to check availability.

Industry watchers suspect that this could be the retailer's first move towards settling up an online grocery store.
