SmileDirectClub Inc. shares were up 17% to $8 after the company said it entered into a partnership with Walmart Canada.

The two companies said they will launch SmileDirectClub's signature SmileShop experience within select Walmart locations in Ontario and Alberta, offering a convenient and affordable, doctor-directed remote solution for straightening teeth.

A Walmart in Edmonton has already opened its SmileShop, with two other locations opening soon.
