Walmart and Wing launches speedy drone delivery service at 6 metro Atlanta stores
Live in metro Atlanta? Your next delivery from Walmart may be coming from the sky.
The retailer and automated drone company Wing is launching a new delivery system in metro Atlanta, just in time for the busy holiday shopping period.
Products eligible for the drone delivery include groceries, gifts, household goods, and over-the-counter medicine, the company announced.
Eligible customers can place orders through the Wing app and confirm the delivery location on their property. Once the package is loaded, the drones fly at around 60 mph about 150 feet off the ground. When the drone arrives at the drop-off location, it lowers the package to the ground without any assistance.
The companies estimate that flight delivery time will be about five minutes or less on average.
“Atlanta is a powerhouse in aviation, and we’re bringing the same spirit of speed and efficiency to thousands of Walmart customers across the Metro just in time for the busiest season of the year,” said Heather Rivera, Chief Business Officer at Wing. “This launch is a critical next step in our significant expansion, turning drone delivery from novelty to norm as residents make drone delivery part of their everyday shopping.”
Starting on Wednesday, the service will be available from six Walmart stores around the area:
- Walmart Supercenter #575, 12182 GA-92, Woodstock, GA 30188
- Walmart Supercenter #2475, 1436 Dogwood Dr SE, Conyers, GA 30013
- Walmart Supercenter #3403, 3615 Charles Hardy Pkwy, Dallas, GA 30157
- Walmart Supercenter #618, 4166 Jimmy Lee Smith Pkwy, Hiram, GA 30141
- Walmart Supercenter #3201, 135 Willow Ln, McDonough, GA 30253
- Walmart Supercenter #5252, 4221 Atlanta Hwy, Loganville, GA 30052
Walmart and Wing first launched the partnership in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The company is also set to expand its drone deliveries to Houston, Tampa, Orlando, and Charlotte.
You can check your eligibility for the service and download the app at wing.com/walmart.

We have liftoff: Hawks’ Houstan shows off hops with highlight dunk
The guard has developed more of a reputation as a shooter during his time in the NBA.

While Houstan seems to have avoided dunking in the NBA, he hasn’t shied away in the G League. (Daniel Varnado for the AJC)
Hawks guard Caleb Houstan has never dunked in an NBA game. But Houstan took his hops to the Southside on Tuesday morning and dunked for the first time in two years.
After landing in Atlanta following the Hawks return from Detroit, Houstan suited up for the College Park Skyhawks in their matinee game against the Westchester Knicks.
