Recode claimed back in February that the service had been in the works for a year and a half. While a Walmart rep confirmed that the service was being developed, no other details were provided by the retailer. According to Recode, Walmart Plus will be a rebrand of the company’s Delivery Unlimited service, which provides unlimited, same-day delivery of groceries for $98 a year.
Most of the info about Walmart Plus so far is speculative. A Walmart Plus page has been created on the Walmart Plus website, promising that the service is “coming soon,” but offering no other details. What else has been rumored about the new Walmart service?

Other rumored perks include same-day delivery of groceries and merchandise, discounts on gas, and early access to deals on merchandise.
While Walmart Plus was previously set to launch in March or April, the COVID-19 pandemic delayed its unveiling. Recode reported that Walmart Plus should launch soon, although it is uncertain if the service will be available nationwide or if it will only launch at the regional level before expanding to the rest of the country.
