On June 4, 2026, Walmart officially launched its in-store restaurant delivery service on its app and website. The service's first partner is Subway, allowing customers to order restaurant meals while purchasing groceries, with delivery service available in as fast as 30 minutes. This marks Walmart's first deep integration of restaurant operations into its Express Delivery system.
