Alphabet’s Wing is set to expand its drone delivery service to 150 additional Walmart locations by 2027. The expansion will include four new cities: Los Angeles, St. Louis, Miami, and Cincinnati. This follows an earlier announcement in June 2025 of plans to extend the Wing-Walmart delivery collaboration to 100 more stores in cities like Atlanta, Charlotte, Houston, Orlando, and Tampa. Currently operational in around 27 stores, the goal is to scale up to 270 Walmart sites integrated with Wing’s drone delivery system by 2027.
The shift to electric multi-rotor aircraft for deliveries aims to reduce the reliance on polluting trucks for last-mile deliveries, aligning with sustainability goals. This move mirrors the trend seen in sidewalk robot deliveries in cities like Los Angeles.
Wing reports a rise in both the geographic reach and customer demand for its delivery service. The company notes an increase in orders, with the top 25% of customers placing orders three times a week, and a threefold growth in deliveries over the past six months.
Wing’s drones are capable of carrying payloads ranging from 2.5 to 5 pounds, with a battery range covering a 12-mile round trip at speeds up to 65 mph.
