Walmart is expanding its convenience ecosystem by integrating Subway ordering into its Express Delivery platform, allowing customers to order freshly prepared meals alongside groceries and everyday essentials through a single transaction.
The initiative marks Walmart’s first restaurant integration within Express Delivery and reflects the retailer’s broader effort to consolidate multiple consumer needs into one seamless shopping experience.
Beginning this month, customers in select U.S. markets can order Subway directly through the Walmart app and Walmart.com, with deliveries arriving in as little as 30 minutes. Orders can be placed independently or combined with groceries, household essentials, and other Walmart purchases.
The rollout is currently available at select Walmart stores across Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas, with plans to expand to approximately 1,400 locations by the end of the summer.
The move highlights a growing convergence between retail, grocery, and foodservice as major retailers seek to increase convenience and capture a larger share of consumers’ daily spending occasions. By combining restaurant meals with traditional retail purchases, Walmart is positioning its delivery network as a one-stop fulfillment platform for everyday needs.
Subway has been Walmart’s largest in-store restaurant partner since 2004, serving millions of customers through locations inside Walmart stores across the United States.
According to Walmart, customers will be able to browse Subway menus, customize orders, and add meals to their shopping baskets through the same checkout experience used for Walmart Express Delivery.
The partnership underscores a broader industry trend toward integrated commerce models, where retailers leverage existing logistics networks to deliver a wider range of products and services through a unified customer experience.
