Walmart will now deliver Subway sandwiches to your door in under 30 minutes

Walmart already brings groceries, prescriptions, and household basics to your door in as little as 30 minutes. Now it will throw in lunch via a new food-delivery service. Starting this month, customers can add a freshly made Subway sandwich to their Walmart delivery order—the first restaurant meal the retailer has folded into its same-day service. Customers in select markets can now order a Subway meal directly through the Walmart app or Walmart.com and have it arrive in as little as 30 minutes—on its own or tucked alongside the groceries, prescriptions, and household staples that are already available through the retailer’s Express Delivery service. This marks Walmart’s first restaurant integration inside Express Delivery, and if it succeeds, it could expand to include food from other restaurant chains. The rollout is live in select stores across Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas, and Walmart says it will expand to roughly 1,400 locations by the end of the summer. Orders carry a flat Express Delivery fee, which is $10 for Walmart+ members and roughly $20 for nonmembers. Subway’s prices match its in-restaurant menus. The average shopper, Walmart estimates, makes around 21 meal decisions a week. “Sometimes they want more convenient options than are available even within our stores today, especially for delivery,” says Tracy Poulliot, EVP of eCommerce and Marketing for Walmart U.S. Subway makes sense as Walmart’s first restaurant partner. It’s Walmart’s largest in-store restaurant tenant, with a relationship dating back to 2004 and more than 1,400 counters operating inside Walmart stores. “It was just a natural partnership and starting point for us on this journey,” Poulliot says. “Together we serve millions of customers across the U.S.” Orders are made fresh at those in-store locations—the same Subway you’d pass while walking through the retail giant’s front
