The discounter has nearly 4,700 stores across the U.S., with roughly 90% of Americans living within 10 miles of a Walmart store.
In the U.S., about 139 million customers visit Walmart stores and its website or app each week.
Walmart plans to sell the sampling stations to advertisers and bundle them with other ad formats that can run at the same time to make for a fuller campaign.
In the most recent fiscal year, Walmart's global ads business grew nearly 30% and its U.S. ads business, Walmart Connect, rose about 40%.
That's a sharper gain than the approximately 7% increase in Walmart's total revenue and Walmart U.S. net sales during the period.
