Buy Or Sell: Gas Stations Fueling Walmart’s Growth?

In this episode, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, Infios, and ClearDemand, Chris and Anne analyze Walmart’s bold move to grow its gas station footprint, aiming to add 40–45 new locations this year as part of a five-year expansion plan (00:03). They discuss how Walmart is using fuel as a strategic lever to increase Walmart Plus membership value (01:00) and compare this tactic to Costco’s successful model (02:00). Anne shares her personal experience with Walmart Plus fuel limitations (03:10), while Chris breaks down the massive opportunity in front of Walmart, with only 415 fuel sites currently serving over 4,600 stores (04:20). Plus, they touch on recent leadership changes that indicate Walmart’s full steam ahead approach (04:45).
