They are a great company for us to work with as we continue to grow our digital presence,” added Liz Rodbell, President of Lord & Taylor.

Walmart.com currently offers more than 60 million items on the site, compared to 20 million items last year. At the same time, Lord & Taylor continues to evolve its department store model, combining brick and mortar locations with online destinations for an exciting all-channel experience.
