Walmart Expands Delivery Service to Include Papa Johns
Walmart has announced that it will begin delivering food from Papa Johns, marking the first time the retailer is offering delivery from restaurants not located within its stores. This move expands Walmart's restaurant delivery business and positions it as a growing competitor in an industry long dominated by third-party apps like DoorDash and Uber Eats. The partnership allows customers to order Papa Johns pizza alongside their regular grocery purchases or on its own, with deliveries handled through Walmart’s Express Delivery service. The company has previously expanded into delivering food from Dunkin' and Subway locations within stores and is now broadening that effort nationwide. This expansion supports Walmart's strategy of increasing online sales by offering more convenience to customers. For Papa Johns, the partnership provides access to a vast delivery network with over 4,000 U.S. stores and millions of potential new customers. The pizza chain has faced recent challenges in its same-store sales but sees this as an opportunity for growth.
