Wal-mart, which generates more than 20 percent of all retail magazine sales in the US., is doing some “winter cleaning” of its shelves. The retail giant will no longer be selling more than 1,000 magazine titles in its stores.
Keith J. Kelly, from the NY Post reports most of the magazines pulled off the racks are small, but even some well-known magazines are being “purged” from the aproximately 4,000 stores. Among them: Better Homes & Gardens, Ladies Home Journal, The Economist, BusinessWeek, Forbes and Fortune.
