Walmart is set to extend its Delivery Unlimited grocery delivery membership programme to 1,400 stores across the US this autumn
Delivery Unlimited option allows customers to receive unlimited grocery delivery orders for an annual fee of $98 or a monthly fee of $12.95 and comes with a free 15-day trial.
Customers who are not part of the membership programme will have a per-delivery fee pay option.
Walmart trialled Delivery Unlimited programme earlier this year in Houston, Miami, Salt Lake City and Tampa.
The retail major is now rolling out the service to all 200 metro areas, after receiving a positive response.
Walmart chief customer officer Janey Whiteside said: “Grocery Delivery takes convenience to a new level, and our customers love it. With Delivery Unlimited, we’re providing incredible value for our customers and leveraging our unique assets to save them both time and money.”
