Overview
- Walmart launched the Subway integration Thursday, letting customers in select Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas stores order Subway sandwiches through the Walmart app for delivery.
- The company plans to expand the feature to roughly 1,400 in-store Subway locations by late summer, and Subway began requiring franchisees inside Walmart to join the delivery flow as of June 1.
- Orders route directly into each restaurant’s point-of-sale system, and Walmart uses AI to time restaurant prep, pickup and last-mile delivery so sandwiches arrive hot and on schedule.
- Express Delivery uses Walmart’s flat fee structure—$10 for Walmart+ members and about $20 for nonmembers—Subway menu prices match in-store, and franchisees will cover standard credit-card processing fees with no new participation charge.
- The move folds prepared meals into Walmart’s store-fulfilled delivery offering, gives shoppers a one-app option for groceries plus hot food, and raises competition for DoorDash, Uber Eats and Amazon’s Grubhub tie-up.
