Wing and Walmart make drone deliveries to Denver and Seattle in 2027
The companies plan to eventually offer air delivery from more than 270 Walmart stores.
Walmart and Alphabet-owned Wing have revealed two more metro areas for their drone delivery service. The companies plan to begin operations in the Denver and Seattle metro areas in 2027 as part of a plan to offer air delivery from more than 270 Walmart stores across the United States.
Currently, drone deliveries from Wing and Walmart are available in five metro areas: Atlanta; Charlotte, North Carolina; Dallas-Fort Worth; Houston; and Orlando, Florida. As it stands, they aim to expand to fourteen more destinations, including Miami, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Bay Area.
The drones can travel up to 60 mph and carry a payload weighing up to five pounds. If a Walmart order is eligible for drone delivery, customers will see that as an option on the app or website. Consumers can also order items through the Wing app.
The companies announced their expansion just days after Doordash revealed more details about its own drone service. DoorDash Air will debut in Northern California with partners including Chipotle and Popeyes.
