Wing and Walmart launch Metro Atlanta's first drone delivery service in time for the holidays

Wing and Walmart are launching ultra-fast drone delivery in Metro Atlanta, bringing an essential time-saver to tens of thousands of homes just in time for the busy holiday shopping rush. Beginning December 3, the service will be available from six Walmart stores across Metro Atlanta.

• Walmart Supercenter #575, 12182 GA-92, Woodstock, GA 30188

• Walmart Supercenter #2475, 1436 Dogwood Dr SE, Conyers, GA 30013

• Walmart Supercenter #3403, 3615 Charles Hardy Pkwy, Dallas, GA 30157

• Walmart Supercenter #618, 4166 Jimmy Lee Smith Pkwy, Hiram, GA 30141

• Walmart Supercenter #3201, 135 Willow Ln, McDonough, GA 30253

• Walmart Supercenter #5252, 4221 Atlanta Hwy, Loganville, GA 30052

Walmart products eligible for drone delivery include grocery items, last-minute gifts, household goods and over-the-counter medicine. Whether facing a forgotten dinner ingredient or searching for a last-minute holiday toy, Wing can turn a 20-minute drive in notorious Atlanta traffic into a five minute or less average flight time. 

“Atlanta is a powerhouse in aviation, and we’re bringing the same spirit of speed and efficiency to thousands of Walmart customers across the Metro just in time for the busiest season of the year,” said Heather Rivera, Chief Business Officer at Wing. “This launch is a critical next step in our significant expansion, turning drone delivery from novelty to norm as residents make drone delivery part of their everyday shopping.”

Expanding drone delivery access

The Metro Atlanta launch is an important milestone, representing the first new major metro in Wing’s historic drone delivery expansion with Walmart. This expansion will include five new metros and serve 100 additional Walmart stores across the U.S. by 2026. Given Walmart's reach, with stores located within 10 miles of 90% of the U.S. population, Metro Atlanta's dense population and the high customer demand for rapid delivery make it an ideal location for scaling Wing and Walmart’s drone service in a new major metro.

Offering drone delivery to Atlanta residents will build upon Wing and Walmart’s success in the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) metroplex. In DFW today, Wing successfully delivers thousands of orders to Walmart customers' homes weekly, with plans for continued growth. From delivering popular items like Great Value Eggs without a crack to fresh dinner essentials such as ground beef and avocados, Wing and Walmart are positioning drone delivery as an essential, convenient, and reliable option for busy families. In fact, over 75% of customers have used Wing's drone delivery service more than once in the past year.

How Metro Atlanta’s drone delivery works

With just a click of a button, eligible customers in Metro Atlanta can now place orders for ultra-fast drone delivery. Customers simply order through the Wing app and, at checkout, confirm the precise delivery location on their property. Once loaded onto one of Wing’s highly automated drones, the order cruises safely at approximately 60 mph and about 150 feet off the ground, with five minutes or less average flight times. Upon arrival, the drone gently lowers the package to the ground with no assistance needed.
