Birchbox has held acquisition talks with Walmart
Birchbox has recently been discussing a potential sale with several retailers, multiple sources told Recode. One potential acquirer who has spoken with the beauty subscription startup is Walmart, these people said, with conversations taking place between Walmart’s U.S. e-commerce chief Marc Lore and Birchbox co-founder and CEO Katia Beauchamp. It’s not clear how far along any of the talks are. Walmart has been on an acquisition tear snatching up Bonobos and ModCloth.(Recode)
 
Ex-Walmart exec claims cheating in race with Amazon
In its race to catch Amazon in online retailing, Walmart issued misleading e-commerce results and fired an executive who complained the company was breaking the law, according to a lawsuit by the executive. Tri Huynh, a former director of business development at Walmart, claims he was terminated "under false pretenses" after repeatedly raising concerns about the company's "overly aggressive push to show meteoric growth in its e-commerce business by any means possible – even, illegitimate ones."(Ad Age)

Walmart gets wired. Walmart has opened its first high-tech supermarket in partnership with Chinese online retailer JD.com. The newly launched supermarket in the southern tech hub of Shenzhen stocks products that customers can purchase with their smartphones via JD.com's JD Daojia platform or Tencent's WeChat messaging app. Walmart first partnered with JD.com two years ago as both companies struggled to overcome the retail dominance of Alibaba, and Walmart last week announced that it would drop Alibaba's Alipay services in stores in favour of Tencent's WeChat payments.
