The Super Walmart on Curran Highway has been approved for canopy for its grocery pickup service.

IBerkshires reports that the shade cloth canopy will be located in existing parking spots in front of the southern entrance of the building and a sign indicating pickup will be installed on the front facade below the Walmart sign.

Customers will be able to order online and an associate will bring the goods to your car when you get there.
The canopy will provide some protection from the elements for delivery and have six spaces under it. The store currently has 701 parking spots and to make up for the loss of four spots for the canopy, the store will paint in four more parking spots in an existing paved area.

The pickup service will be limited to groceries and paper goods and customers will be able to alert the store they are waiting through a smartphone app. The proposed hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Supermarket News reports that through Walmart Grocery Delivery, accessed via Walmart.com/grocery or the Walmart Grocery app, customers can order fresh produce, meat, seafood, and bakery items as well as pantry staples, consumables and select general merchandise.

Walmart noted that its online grocery service, for which it employs more than 45,000 personal shoppers, offers the same everyday-low prices available in stores.

With Delivery Unlimited, Walmart targeting subscription-based online grocery delivery services offered by Instacart, Target, and Amazon.
