Walmart announced that it is expanding its drone delivery service to Atlanta, Charlotte, Houston, Orlando, and Tampa. In a statement, the retailer said that its new service “will launch at 100 stores, building on the existing operations in Northwest Arkansas and Dallas-Fort Worth.”

The expansion will take place through an agreement with drone provider Wing, an Alphabet company that can operate its drones “Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) up to a 6-mile aircraft range from the store.”

Wing CEO Adam Woodworth said, “This is real drone delivery at scale. People all around the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex have made drone delivery part of their normal shopping habits over the past year. Now we’re excited to share this ultra-fast delivery experience with millions more people across many more U.S. cities.”

Customers in Atlanta, Charlotte, Houston, Orlando and Tampa can sign up on Wing’s website to be notified when drone delivery becomes available in their area (wing.com/walmart).
