Walmart launched this Express Pickup option at 500 stores Wednesday and plans to expand it across the United States before Thanksgiving, according to the release.
“Place an order in the Walmart app and it can be ready for curbside pickup in as soon as one hour,” the company said in the release.
Walmart+ members can access an unlimited number of Express Pickup orders without a fee, per the release. Express Pickup is available on eligible orders, may be subject to a below-order-minimum fee, and is subject to inventory availability and store capacity, according to the Walmart+ Terms of Use page.

The PYMNTS Intelligence report “2025 Global Digital Shopping Index” found that 92% of consumers said they were highly satisfied with their curbside pickup experiences.
The report found that 10.2% of consumers surveyed in 2024 said they completed their most recent retail purchase via curbside or in-store pickup.
“Shopping is becoming increasingly digital, as consumers gravitate toward the convenience of digital shopping features no matter where they are,” the report said.
PYMNTS reported in July that Walmart continues to invest in connected shopping capabilities such as curbside pickup, Walmart+, its marketplace and OnePay. All of these services could help reconnect routine shopping trips with higher-value purchases over time, the report said.
Walmart announced in April 2025 that as it remodeled stores, it was expanding online pickup and delivery “to fulfill the growing number of online customer orders.”
“We want to make sure our stores reflect the community they serve but also make sure our stores are up to date, that they offer the best of what Walmart has to offer and that they enable people to shop the way they want to shop,” Walmart Chief Operating Officer Kieran Shanahan said at the time in a video about the remodeled stores.
Walmart said in its Wednesday press release that customers can “choose the speed and shopping experience that works best for their day.”
