Walmart and Wing Launch Drone Delivery in Greater Houston

The rollout expands Walmart’s partnership with Alphabet’s Wing toward coast-to-coast coverage by year-end.

Overview

  • Service is now operating from five Walmart Supercenters: two in Katy, one in Crosby, one in Kemah, and one in northwest Houston.
  • Customers can receive groceries and household essentials in about 30 minutes within roughly a six-mile radius after checking address eligibility on Wing’s website.
  • Deliveries target single-family homes and are lowered by winch with picnic-blanket accuracy to protect fragile items such as eggs.
  • Wing reports about 750,000 deliveries completed from roughly two dozen Walmart locations prior to Houston’s launch, with strong repeat use in early markets.
  • The companies cite plans to reach new metros including Miami and Los Angeles this year, with broader scaling dependent on FAA approvals for expanded flight operations.
