RICHMOND, Va. – Walmart is the latest business to expand their online grocery pickup service in the Richmond-area.
Beginning June 8, four Walmart stores will offer the free service which enables customers to order groceries online and pick them up without leaving their cars.
“At Walmart, we have always been known for saving our customers money and, with services like grocery pickup, we are also saving them valuable time,” said Phillip Keene, Walmart Spokesman.
This comes after Kroger expanded their ClickList online store in the Richmond-area to include three locations by mid-June and 11 by the end of 2016.
“Our customers have told us that grocery pick up is a game changer. They will now be able to complete their grocery shopping in a matter of minutes,” said Keene.
The company said the grocery pickup service will feature 30,000 items including fresh meat, dairy, produce, and diapers.
The service will be available on June 8 at the Walmart Supercenter, located at 900 Walmart Way in Midlothian. The service is already available at three Richmond-area locations:
- Walmart Supercenter: 7430 Bell Creek Road, Mechanicsville, VA
- Walmart Supercenter: 2410 Sheila Lane, Richmond, VA
- Walmart Neighborhood Market: 7000 Iron Bridge Road, Chesterfield, VA
How it Works
Order and Choose a Pickup Time: Customers visit walmart.com/grocery online or through the Walmart Grocery mobile app, enter their zip codes to select a local store and begin creating their shopping lists. During checkout, they select a time to pick up their orders.
Personal Grocery Shoppers Fill the Basket: Highly-trained personal shoppers carefully select the freshest produce, meats and other items each customer requested.
Pick Up and Go: Once a customer arrives at the pickup location, there will be reserved parking spaces marked in orange, and a designated number to call to alert an associate. An associate will quickly retrieve the prepared order and load it into the customer’s car.
