Walmart Expands Same-Day Pharmacy Delivery Service
News summary

Walmart has launched a same-day Pharmacy Delivery service, initially available in six states, with plans to expand to 49 states by early 2025. This service integrates with Walmart's general merchandise delivery, allowing customers to receive prescriptions alongside groceries and other items in a single order. Walmart+ members will benefit from free delivery, while others will incur a $9.95 fee. The move positions Walmart to compete with Amazon, CVS, and Walgreens in the online pharmacy market, with Walmart's extensive store network enabling it to serve over 86% of U.S. households, potentially pressuring CVS and Walgreens' market shares. Restrictions apply, as controlled substances and Medicare Part B items are excluded, with future plans for faster delivery options in development. This initiative responds to increasing consumer demand for convenient healthcare delivery and is part of Walmart's broader strategy to enhance customer convenience and capture a larger share of the online pharmacy market.
