What happened
Walmart announced the expansion of its aerial delivery service to Denver and Seattle on October 5, 2026. The drones are provided by Wing, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., and can carry up to 5 pounds while traveling at speeds up to 60 mph. Once the service is available in an area, customers using the Walmart app will see drone delivery as an option.

Why it matters
The expansion introduces a new aerial delivery method into the market, directly challenging established logistics providers. This move puts Walmart in direct competition with Amazon's rapid delivery rollout in the region.
Amazon is rolling out its rapid delivery service to several major metropolitan areas across the United States, including Denver.
