Walmart to Lure Last Minute Shoppers With Zhu Zhu Pets Starting Monday
Walmart is promising to have a big delivery of Zhu Zhu Pets robotic hamsters in its stores starting monday. Walmart said in a statement that they wil "un-cage" the hamsters for special 7 a.m. hamster events each day from Monday to Wednesday, December 21st to December 23rd. Lines will be organized in the hours before the 7 a.m. event each day for people who want to buy hamsters. Shoppers will be limited to one Zhu Zhu Pet per person.
Today, hundreds of thousands of these sought-after robotic hamsters are making their way to Walmart via airplanes and trucks across the country, as Walmart stores prepare to help find them a new home for Christmas.
Starting at 7 a.m. each morning of Dec. 21, Dec. 22 and Dec. 23. Walmart stores nationwide will un-cage the popular Zhu Zhu Hamsters in special morning sales events. Anticipating high interest, stores will be organizing lines in the hours before the 7 a.m. event each day as needed, and customers will be assigned numbers as lines build, as supplies last. Customers will be limited to one per person, and distributions will vary, with a minimum of 20 per day at smaller stores to more than 60 per day in most stores.
Toys R Us ran a similar promotion at midnight on Black Friday. They had a huge turnout for the Zhu Zhu Pets. Walmart will probably get a boost in early morning shoppers from its Zhu Zhu Pets events.
