Walmart Inc. will start delivering refrigerated prescriptions to homes as the world’s largest retailer looks to expand the reach of its pharmacy and deliveries.
The medications, including Ozempic, insulin and liquid amoxicillin, the common pink antibiotic, will be fulfilled from Walmart stores in specialized insulated bags. Shoppers can receive them along with groceries and other products in a single online order, which can be delivered as fast as 30 minutes. The deliveries, which customers will need to be at home to receive, are available starting Monday.
Walmart is delivering more goods and at a faster pace, using its network of about 4,600 US stores as an advantage — and intensifying its competition with Amazon.com Inc. and other retailers.
