The retailer has announced that InHome, which is currently available to 6 million households, will soon become accessible to 30 million US households by the end of the year.
To support this expansion, Walmart plans to hire more than 3,000 associate delivery drivers this year as well as build out a fleet of 100 per cent all-electric delivery vans.
Launched in 2019, Walmart’s InHome delivery service is designed to give time back to families by using highly-trained associates to deliver fresh groceries, everyday essentials and more directly into customers’ homes, including placing items straight into their kitchen or garage refrigerator, as well as picking up Walmart.com returns.
“We’ve been operating InHome in select markets over the last two years and have found it is a perfect solution for customers who want to live their lives without worrying about making it to the store or being home to accept a delivery,” said Tom Ward, Senior Vice President, Last Mile at Walmart U.S. “Identifying ways to help our customers save time and money is our purpose, and nothing showcases that better than InHome delivery, which is why we’re excited to bring the convenience of InHome to even more customers in 2022.”
