Wal-Mart's challenge: convincing shoppers to buy apparel


NEW YORK (AP) - This holiday season, a big challenge at Wal-Mart is convincing shoppers like Portia Goodman and Karen Wade to buy fashion instead of just basics. 

"I buy more at Target than I do here,'' said Goodman, a 31-year-old graduate student from Riverside, Illinois, who was recently shopping for candy at a local Wal-Mart with her son. "I think they should be more like Target.'' At Target, known for its cheap chic offerings, Goodman is attracted to apparel by designer Isaac Mizrahi and favors athletic gear by Champion.
