Walmart.com has a delivery subscription service for $98 as of 2021. It is a convenient option if you live in the center of a city. Order $35 of grocery items or any items available at your local Walmart and it will be delivered to your door later the same day if you order early or the next morning. Prices are lower than other online delivery services. Delivery is through a third party service like Postmates. Tip for delivery is optional. Walmart started as a rural network of stores. They have had significant trouble entering urban centers. People living downtown are unlikely to drive 40 minutes each way for groceries and other items. Walmart Plus delivery might finally allow Walmart to reach dense urban center customers. #stocks #wmt See Post
