When Walmart brought back its layaway program in 2011 after a five-year hiatus, customers could come in and reserve an item for the Christmas period starting Oct. 17. This year, the program begins on August 28, which kicks off Walmart's made-up occasion, Toy Week..
Reuters reports that Walmartâs annual holiday layaway program would be available starting August 28, two weeks earlier than last year and nearly two months before the big box retailer allowed customers to put away gifts when it first brought back the program in 2011.
