Walmart is Expanding This Service Nationwide
Walmart announced on Thursday that it is expanding its “unlimited” grocery delivery service to all states in the U.S.
The big-box retailer says it plans to reach over 50% of the country with the service by the end of the year and the expansion will hit 1,400 stores this fall.
Users can pay $98 annually or $12.95 a month to receive unlimited grocery deliveries to their homes. On an order-by-order basis, the deliveries would cost $9.99.
So far Houston, Miami, Salt Lake City, and Tampa were the four cities involved in the company’s Delivery Unlimited testing. As the biggest retailer expands the service nationwide, it will hit 200 metro areas.
“We’ve been investing in our online grocery business by quickly expanding our Grocery Pickup and Delivery services. Delivery Unlimited is the next step in that journey,” stated Tom Ward, senior vice president of Walmart’s digital operations in the U.S.
He added, “By pairing our size and scale and these services we’re making Walmart the easiest place to shop.”
The company has said that it has over 45,000 personal shoppers helping it pack grocery orders for customers every day.
