BENTONVILLE, ARKANSAS (AP) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc. says it will be testing its grocery delivery service with ride-hailing companies Uber and Lyft in the next two weeks in Denver and Phoenix.
That's in addition to a quiet pilot program that started in March with Deliv for its Sam's Club customers that involves delivery of general merchandise and grocery for business members in Miami.
Customers pay Wal-Mart the regular $7 to $10 delivery charge online and make no payments to the driver.
The moves come as Wal-Mart is also expanding its curbside grocery delivery to 14 new markets for a total of 54 in over 200 stores.
