Walmart Adds 'Family Night Center' in All Stores for Creating a Night of
Activities for Under $30
Center Combines Savings on Board Games, Movies and Party Snacks
BENTONVILLE, Ark., Sept. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Responding to moms' rising
interest in more affordable entertainment activities at home, Walmart is
featuring a new "Family Night Center" in all stores this month. The area aims
to help customers find new ideas for memorable family time activities and
savings on popular items from Hasbro and Disney among others in a convenient
"one-stop" area.
Family nights are making a comeback. According to recent research through
Walmart Customer Insights, more than 50 percent of moms who shop at Walmart
said they were watching more movies at home with family to save money versus
going out. Similarly, market research company NPD Group this year reported an
increased demand for board games, with sales in the first half of the year up
10 percent over the same period in 2008.
Walmart Family Night Center showcases every day low prices and new savings on
popular and traditional family games. In addition, moms can go to Walmart's
web site and find tips from other mom bloggers on how to create a fun family
night plan, and see more about recommended products, healthy snack and dip
ideas, new items and video games at www.walmart.com/familymoments.
"With busier schedules and kids heading back to school, now is a great time to
provide a dedicated place in our stores to give mom the savings and ideas to
create fun, quality time for her family this fall," said Laura Phillips, Chief
Toy Officer and senior vice president of Entertainment, Walmart. "Our Family
Night Center is designed to provide an easy way to quickly design a complete
family night experience."
