Walmart Has Big Plans to Drop Hamburger Helper From the Sky

The retailer eyes 1 million drone deliveries in 2022

Nearly two years after Walmart first began experimenting with drone delivery in North Carolina, the retailer is extending a partnership with last mile delivery service DroneUp to 34 sites in six states by the end of 2022.

That will bring the fast but limited delivery service to Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Texas, Utah and Virginia, which, per Walmart, equates to 4 million U.S. households.

Customers in these states can receive orders of “tens of thousands of eligible items, such as Tylenol, diapers and hot dog buns” between 8 a.m.
