Walmart+ adds InHome direct-to-fridge delivery to subscription
Walmart’s membership service is adding a new feature — InHome’s direct-to-fridge delivery.
The retailer decided to combine the two previously standalone memberships into one as a way to bring all delivery capabilities into a single, streamlined experience, the company said.
“When Walmart+ members ask for something, we work around the clock to make it happen for them,” said Chris Cracchiolo, senior vice president and general manager of Walmart+. “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.”

In addition, Walmart also shared that it is launching InHome in several new markets including Florida’s Miami, Tampa and Orlando areas, as well as in Texas across Dallas and Austin, and across California’s San Jose and San Francisco areas.
Through InHome, users are able to pick and choose where their groceries are delivered, which includes from their doorstep to directly into the refrigerator.
“We know how much InHome members love this service — they see the same familiar faces and build real relationships with our associates, who help them get through their busy weeks,” said Whitney Pegden, vice president and general manager, InHome at Walmart. “InHome has one of the highest customer experience ratings in the business, and now we’ve made it even easier to access in even more locations as we grow to reach over 30 million households by the end of the year.”
