Wing's Expansion: Drone Deliveries to 150 More Walmarts

Broadening Reach to Major US Cities

Prepare to witness an increase in drone activity over the United States, as Wing, owned by Alphabet, has unveiled plans to further collaborate with Walmart in expanding their drone delivery services over the coming year. The new initiative aims to introduce these services to an additional 150 Walmart stores, including locations in Los Angeles, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Miami, and several other cities that will be disclosed in due course.

Meeting Customer Demand with Increased Coverage

Based on Wing’s insights, their most frequent 25% of customers have been utilizing drone deliveries as often as three times weekly. To satisfy this rising demand, Wing and Walmart are gearing up to provide their service to approximately 40 million people across the United States. The objective is to establish a robust network consisting of 270 delivery sites by the year 2027.

The collaborative venture began operations in August 2023, kickstarting deliveries for the clientele in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. As of June 2025, they expanded their presence to encompass 100 additional stores located in cities such as Atlanta, Charlotte, Houston, Orlando, and Tampa. Recently, in the previous month, new services were initiated in Atlanta, with Houston slated to begin receiving deliveries by mid-January next year.

Pioneering Efforts and Future Plans

Prior to partnering with Walmart, Wing had already made inroads into the American market by joining hands with Walgreens for the shipment of health-related products starting in April 2022. Following this venture, Wing broadened its partnerships, including alliances with DoorDash and Apian, a healthcare logistics firm stationed in London. On top of these business relationships, Wing is in the process of developing enhanced drones, boasting capabilities like reaching speeds of up to 65 mph and transporting payloads of up to five pounds, effectively doubling current capacities.
