Walmart has filed an application to build a “drone nest” in Seminole County, where it would house, charge, and repair some of its delivery drones. It was included on the agenda for the Seminole County Development Review Committee.<\/p>\n
Walmart did not attend the meeting, a county spokesperson told FOX35. However, Walmart announced its pilot drone delivery program in 2025 with initial launches planned for Atlanta, Charlotte, Houston, Orlando, and Tampa.<\/p>\n
Start dates for the Orlando market have not been announced. A spokesperson for Walmart told FOX 35 that there are not additional details to announce yet.<\/p>\n
According to the release, the drone program, in partnership with Wing, would be able to conduct deliveries within 6 miles of a Walmart store.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Walmart said in its release that it plans to expand the service to 100 of its stores.<\/p>\n
