Walmart and Amazon Expand Grocery Delivery

In select locations across the country, it just got a lot easier to shop for groceries. Walmart has extended its grocery delivery partnership with logistics company Postmates to serve San Diego and the greater Los Angeles area, as well as locations in New York and Florida. Postmates delivers groceries for Walmart in five additional markets: Charlotte, N.C.; Raleigh, N.C.; Oklahoma City; Las Vegas; and Tucson, Ariz. A media advisory said Los Angeles is the 34th area nationwide to receive the service, and the retailer plans to roll out grocery delivery to 100 metro areas by the end of the year. The company also works with on-demand delivery service DoorDash in Atlanta, as well as Uber and Deliv in states like California, Texas, and Florida. Walmart has previously said it wants to bring grocery delivery to 40 percent of the U.S. in 2018. But it has a lot of other grocery options, including two-day shipping and an online grocery pickup service, as well as in-building and in-fridge delivery with smart access providers Latch and August Home.
