Wing brings a new rhythm to errands in Memphis, delivering Walmart orders by drone in minutes

Wing drones are taking flight today with Walmart across Memphis skies, marking Wing’s first deliveries in Tennessee. Now, local neighbors can get thousands of everyday Walmart items, from groceries to household and baby items, delivered right to their yards in as fast as 30 minutes.

“We’re proud to have the opportunity to show up as a helpful, good neighbor for residents throughout the Memphis metro,” said Heather Rivera, Wing’s Chief Business Officer. “Starting today, local families have a faster, more convenient option for last-minute groceries and daily necessities, while helping ease neighborhood traffic.”

Service is now available to tens of thousands of homes surrounding these Walmart locations across Tennessee and Arkansas:

• Walmart Supercenter #950, 8400 Us Highway 64, Bartlett, TN 38133 

• Walmart Supercenter #2322, 577 N Germantown Pkwy, Cordova, TN 38018 

• Walmart Supercenter #70, 798 W Service Rd, West Memphis, AR 72301

More than music in the air

Memphis is famous for its lively energy, but running quick errands across town takes valuable time. Wing drones fly above red lights and construction, saving residents time, cutting down on neighborhood traffic, and delivering items fast and fresh.

Memphis marks the latest milestone in Wing and Walmart’s coast-to-coast expansion of drone delivery, which has already reached millions of residents. Building on existing operations across Charlotte, Orlando, Houston, Atlanta, and Dallas-Fort Worth, the companies plan to reach nearly 20 major U.S. metros by 2027, including Los Angeles, Seattle, Denver, and Miami.

Safe, quiet delivery for Memphis neighborhoods

Wing continues to make being a good neighbor a first priority as we expand drone delivery and serve new communities across Memphis. Designed to operate quietly, Wing drones cruise at 150–200 feet and up to 60 mph, blending into ambient neighborhood sounds. Upon arriving at a home, the aircraft hovers at roughly 23 feet and gently lowers the package via a secure tether, so eggs can safely arrive and drinks aren’t spilled.
