Walmart has an unmatched ability to execute deliveries in an efficient and effortless manner. Walmart GoLocal will help small businesses grow by taking advantage of the brand's advanced delivery services. Walmart GoLocal will deliver goods for any merchant of any size - whether it be a bakery, an auto retailer, or a boutique store.

The company has already partnered with numerous businesses across the U.S. and is currently accepting new applications.
