“Wal-Mart Stores Inc.” (-0.57%) will soon be called just “Walmart Inc.” Wait, that wasn’t the name the entire time? Apparently not. The decision to drop “Stores” from its brand goes hand-in-hand with Walmart’s swan-dive into e-commerce.

We’re talking acquisitions of e-tailer Jet.com for $3 billion and Bonobos for $310 million, two-day delivery, and a slowdown from opening hundreds of stores each year to just a dozen. So far it’s paid off. E-commerce sales are up 50% from last year, compared to the industry average of 13%. But if Walmart really wants people to buy into the name change, it’s got room to grow. Brick-and-mortar retail still accounts for 95% of its top line.
