What happened?
Walmart announced that it would include in-store restaurants in its rapid delivery service. In the initial pilot, customers can order Subway meals through the Walmart app or website and receive delivery in as little as 30 minutes. The service allows users to combine meals with everyday grocery items in one order and pay a single Express Delivery fee. Walmart plans to expand the service to approximately 1,400 stores with in-store restaurants by the end of summer this year.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
The move further expands Walmart’s delivery ecosystem and uses frequent restaurant purchases to drive grocery retail orders. For merchants selling on Walmart, this means more diverse traffic entry points and potentially higher delivery-speed requirements.
