US EditionDrone Deliveries From Walmart Are Coming To SoCal
Walmart and Wing will add drone delivery to 150 stores, expanding coverage to over 40 million Americans with order volumes tripling in six months, the companies said.
- Walmart and Wing said on Sunday that they will expand drone delivery to 150 additional Walmart stores by next year.
- Strong customer demand has prompted Walmart and Wing to expand drone delivery after early rollouts in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex and Atlanta Supercenters, with six added last month.
- Drones operate from Walmart parking-lot takeoff areas, flying about 60 mph at 150 feet and delivering most orders within 30 minutes; flagship drones carry up to 2.5 pounds, newer models up to 5.
- The expansion moves the network toward a goal of over 270 locations by 2027, with planned rollouts in Orlando, Tampa and Charlotte in the coming weeks.
- The move would reach over 40 million Americans, and critics note the service focuses on metropolitan areas and often carries higher surcharges even as brand partners Wendy's and PepsiCo join.
