Walmart Restored Offers Refurbished Items for Lower Prices

— August 4, 2022 — Business
Walmart Restored is a new program being launched by the retailer as an option for consumers looking to pick up refurbished and like new products to save some money. The program will have its own dedicated section on the brand's website, and will feature items available in search to encourage shoppers to have a look at what's available. The program will feature products from brands like Samsung, Apple and KitchenAid to offer shoppers a way to access high-quality options for less.

General Manager, Walmart Marketplace Michael Mosser spoke on the Walmart Restored program in a blog post saying, "In a year when customers are looking for ways to save money, like-new refurbished products have become an increasingly popular way to cut down on costs without sacrificing quality."
