Wal-Mart’s Solution Stations
Proving once again that installation of electronic doo-dads is just too darned hard, Wal-Mart will get into Best Buy’s “Geek Squad” business by launching Solution Stations. Walmart and Dell (initially) will install and train customers how to use things like HDTV, home theater, wireless, and computer upgrades.
A dozen of the centers will open in Dallas – seemingly the home of the hopelessly inept.
In a company statement we describe Solution Stations as providing “our Dallas-area customers with added services, repair, and consultation so that they can reach the best solution and value for their home entertainment technology needs.”
We think having Dell work with us is also a true win as we are able to take a brand that customer trust to help us continue to deliver on our commitment to save people money so they can live better.

Walmart really is trying to take over everything. What part of the market have they not touched yet? They could at least leave the service business to the local service guys.
