Walmart Canada on Wednesday said it is partnering with Sustainable Produce Urban Delivery (SPUD) to bring online grocery delivery to Vancouver.
The partnership will see Walmart work with SPUD to bring its food delivery platform Food-X Urban Delivery to Metro Vancouver by summer 2018.
Food-X’s infrastructure includes a soon-to-be-completed, 74,000-square foot, state-of-the-art warehouse with proprietary technology SPUD has been refining for the past 20 years to get healthy food and produce to the consumer in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way.
When the service officially launches later this summer, Walmart customers will be able to shop for groceries online, and a Food-X truck will deliver all grocery orders directly to homes, as early as next-day.
