History

Historical Context

Walmart’s 2016 trials with Uber and Lyft and its 2017 purchase of Parcel introduced third-party last-mile delivery to its grocery network. The strategy deepened with the 2025 Symbotic agreement, which earmarked $520 million to build 400 accelerated pickup and delivery centers. By 2024, major retailers are scaling similar platform partnerships, signaling an industry shift toward outsourced fulfillment.
