• Walmart is testing unmarked “dark stores” that exclusively fulfill online orders without allowing public access, with the first operational in Dallas....
• The retail giant aims to reach 95% of the U.S. population with delivery options of three hours or less, with deliveries in this time frame already up 91% in Q1 compared to last year.
• These facilities lack external signage to deter customers but internally resemble regular Walmart stores, optimized for efficient order processing.
• Walmart is also expanding drone delivery to 100 additional locations, becoming the first retailer to offer this service across five states.
• This strategy directly targets Amazon’s dominance in the fast delivery space as Walmart positions itself for e-commerce growth.
