Summary · why it matters

Walmart Inc., the largest U.S. retailer, is pushing further into restaurant delivery through a new partnership with Inspire Brands, starting with Dunkin' as the first major brand to expand via the service. The rollout begins with about 150 Dunkin' locations inside Walmart stores before moving toward most of its roughly 10,000 locations nationwide. Customers will be able to add restaurant food and drinks to Walmart deliveries, leveraging the same last-mile network already used for groceries and general merchandise. With about 90% of the U.S. population living within 10 miles of a Walmart store, the company has a large existing footprint that could pressure competitors like DoorDash and Uber Eats if more restaurant chains join. The next catalyst is how quickly Walmart expands beyond Dunkin' and whether other national chains follow.
