New Changes Come To Walmart+ Membership Program With InHome Grocery Delivery

Walmart (WMT) has introduced a new perk for its Walmart+ membership program with the addition of its InHome Delivery Service.

Walmart's InHome Delivery Service delivers groceries direct to a customer's refrigerator and can now be added as an optional add-on to any Walmart+ membership. The service has no fee or tips required, which Walmart called "ultra-convenient and secure."

With InHome Delivery Service, Walmart customers can combine the benefits of a Walmart+ membership, which includes free shipping with no minimum on Walmart.com, free grocery delivery, gas discounts, and Scan & Go checkout benefits.

Consumers looking to add the InHome Delivery Service will need to "Plus Up" their membership to include the feature.

A Walmart Plus membership costs $12.95 per month or $98 a year, and the InHome option adds another $7 a month or $40 a year to the membership.

Walmart also announced that it was expanding the footprint of its InHome Delivery Service into Miami, Tampa, and Orlando, Florida; Dallas, and Austin, Texas; and San Jose and San Francisco, California.

According to the retail giant, the InHome has nearly doubled in size as the company looks to reach over 30 million households by the end of the year.

"Our members want options and a shopping experience that is easy to navigate and accommodates their individual needs, while saving them time and money—this is true now more than ever," Chris Cracchiolo, senior vice president and general manager of Walmart+, said in a statement.

As of Wednesday at 1:06 p.m. ET, shares of Walmart were trading at $124.95, up 70 cents, or 0.56%.
