Kelly-Moore Offers Paint Deliveries Through Walmart GoLocal

Paint company Kelly-Moore is working with Walmart GoLocal to offer same- and next-day delivery to painting contractors, renovators and B2B clients.

The company announced the program in a news release Thursday (April 28), saying it would involve Kelly-Moore stores across California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas, with plans to expand to more locations in the coming months.

“As interest in home building and renovation continues to rise, so does the need for our merchandise and the customer desire for receiving affordable, high-quality paint and paint products quickly,” Steve DeVoe, CEO of Kelly-Moore Paints, said in the release. “We knew we had to offer fast, dependable delivery to remain competitive and Walmart GoLocal was the logical provider to meet our needs given their reach, pricing and capabilities.”

In business for more than 75 years, Kelly-Moore said it is one of the largest employee-owned paint companies in the country. It added that working with Walmart GoLocal will let its customers receive paints and paint suppliers, like rollers and brushes, on the day of ordering.

“One of Walmart GoLocal’s priorities is to support mid-sized and regional businesses with low-cost delivery capabilities,”  said Harsit Patel, general manager of Walmart GoLocal. “With the continued construction boom sweeping the country, our collaboration with Kelly-Moore Paints allows them to tap further into the paint and design community, where we can collectively provide expanded customer experiences and exceptional client service.”

Walmart GoLocal launched in August of last year as a white-label, last-mile delivery service to help other retailers’ address their customers’ delivery needs. It signed Home Depot as its first retail customer soon after launching.

“In an era where customers have come to expect speed and reliability, it’s more important than ever for businesses to work with a service provider that understands a merchant’s needs,” John Furner, president and CEO of Walmart U.S, said at the time of launch.

Furner added that Walmart had been working on the development of its “commerce capabilities” to meet the needs of its 4,700-plus stores nationwide, and the company wanted to offer the same efficiency to other businesses.
