- Before launching in new cities, Wing and Walmart will coordinate with local leaders to introduce the service, designed to serve single-family homes, apartment buildings, and commercial delivery zones.
- In Philadelphia, where Amazon launched 30-minute delivery earlier this year, Walmart operates five stores and seven suburban locations, planning to introduce drone service in the coming year.
