Walmart expands drone delivery to five new metro areas

Walmart is expanding its drone delivery program with partner Wing to 100 additional stores across Atlanta, Charlotte, Houston, Orlando, and Tampa, building on years of testing in Texas and Arkansas. The service, which has completed over 150,000 deliveries to date, focuses on small, urgent items like groceries and medicine and promises delivery in about 20 minutes. Improved regulations and successful tests have positioned drone delivery as a viable complement to Walmart’s existing logistics network, though its primary value lies in speed and convenience rather than profitability.
