Customers in 29 states now have a more
convenient way to purchase alcoholic beverages through the
convenience of Walmart’s Grocery Pickup service
Walmart is toasting a Grocery Pickup milestone – customers in
2,000 locations in 29 states, including California, Texas and
Florida, can use the much-beloved service for their adult beverage
purchases.
Shoppers can select a wide variety of wine and beer options, in
accordance with state and local regulations, often including
regional or local brands. Select locations also allow for the
pickup of spirits, depending on local laws.
“No matter what’s on your shopping list, Walmart Grocery Pickup
is helping our customers keep time in their busy schedules,” said
Tom Ward, SVP, Digital Operations. “Now, without ever leaving their
car, customers can pick up the perfect bottle of wine for dinner or
beer for the big game. That’s something worth raising a glass
to.”
Here’s how the service works:
- User Friendly Shopping: When customers are creating
their order, the search feature at the top of the screen makes it
easy to directly search for the exact item they need to add to
their cart, which now includes a variety of adult beverages.
- Personal Grocery Shoppers Fill the Basket: Along with
the freshest produce, meats and other items each customer
requested, Walmart’s highly trained personal shoppers will
carefully select each item in the order.
- Order and Choose a Pickup or Delivery Time: During
checkout, customers select a window of time they will pick up their
order. If the order includes alcohol, pick up and delivery times
may be limited by local law.
- Pickup: For fastest pickup, customers can check in
through the Walmart Grocery app. Once the customer arrives at the
pickup location, there will be reserved parking spaces marked in
orange just for Grocery Pickup customers. If customers choose not
to check in ahead of time, there will be a designated number to
call to alert an associate of their arrival. An associate will
quickly retrieve the prepared order and load it into the trunk of
the customer’s car.
- Verification: At the time of pickup, the customer is
required to provide valid photo identification verifying that they
21 years of age or older before receiving the alcohol products
in their order.
The retailer will also be making deliveries of adult beverages
from nearly 200 stores across two states – California and Florida -
with more being added in accordance with local and state
regulations. Customers can check their address at
Walmart.com/grocery to see if the service is available in their
area.
