Walmart and Wing, a subsidiary of Google parent company Alphabet, announced Thursday they are teaming up to offer drone delivery from two stores in the Dallas-Fort Worth area this year.
A Walmart Supercenter in Frisco, Texas, will be the first to tap into the offering. A second Walmart store nearby will launch its service by the end of 2023, Wing CFO Shannon Nash said in a blog post.
Wing drones can provide deliveries in under 30 minutes and use a tether to deliver items like household essentials and groceries to customers’ homes.
