Walmart Business Success Stories: Madame Morbid

Explore New York City’s dark past

New York City isn’t all glitz and glamor. In fact, the trendy borough of Brooklyn hides more than 400 years of spooky secrets—from haunted supermarkets to bars built on burial grounds. Brave explorers who want to learn about the city’s dark past hire Allison Chase, aka Madame Morbid, to be their fearless guide.

While most ghost tours in NYC are on foot, Madame Morbid does things a bit differently. In her black-and-yellow trolley, curious travelers can ride through half a dozen different neighborhoods in comfort as they travel back in time. Wood panels, velvet curtains, leather benches and a sparkling chandelier make the vehicle feel like a Victorian parlor. Along the way, Allison and her team of historians tell the sinister stories behind the borough’s historic shops, restaurants, bridges and—of course—cemeteries.

“I love making the experience super unique for our guests,” Allison says. “I want to give them all the mysterious facts that might have been left out in traditional history.”

To get those details just right, Allison relies on Walmart Business. This lets her buy cleaning supplies, tea lights and even fog machine fluid, then get it delivered right to her door. She can even use Walmart’s Business Printing services for her signage, brochures and flyers. Less time buying supplies means more time to research history, lead tours and delight the local press.

With a Walmart Business+ membership, your local business could enjoy these frighteningly good benefits, too. With it, you’ll get free shipping from Business.Walmart.com¹ and free delivery from local Walmart stores on orders of more than $35.² You can also earn 2% back in Walmart Rewards on orders of $250 or more.³ Altogether, this could save more than $500 per year.⁴
