Walmart accelerates drone delivery plans with new partnership

It’s been a while since we’ve run across drone delivery news, but Walmart recently announced a new partnership with Wing. It’s still a relatively small portion of the retail giant’s delivery business but interesting to see the ongoing commitment to growing the service.

Two years ago, we embarked on a journey to make the convenience of drone delivery a reality for our customers. Over that time, we’ve grown to offer it across seven states and 36 stores, completing more than 10,000 safe deliveries.

Today, we’re continuing that momentum by teaming up with Wing, an on-demand drone delivery provider powered by Google’s parent company, Alphabet. The service will be offered from two stores in the Dallas metro area in the coming months, enabling us to reach an additional 60,000 homes.
