Salt Lake City and six other metro areas will soon get Walmart drone delivery through Wing, adding Memphis, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego and San Francisco to the rollout.
Wing said the expansion builds on more than 1 million commercial deliveries since partnering with Walmart in 2023 and is meant to speed service for routine and last-minute orders.
Drones fly up to 60 mph and can deliver in as little as 30 minutes, lowering packages by tether to a customer's yard, porch or driveway.
The new markets extend a network already operating in Dallas, Houston and Atlanta, with earlier expansion plans announced for Orlando, Tampa, Charlotte, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Los Angeles and Miami.
Wing said it is working toward reaching 40 million U.S. residents; eligible shoppers will see the option in Walmart's app or website, and can also join a waitlist.
