Summary
Walmart is expanding its 30-minute delivery service by adding Subway meals, with plans to roll out this offering to approximately 1,400 stores by late summer.

The expansion aims to capitalize on the rapidly growing demand for convenience, where Walmart's store-fulfilled delivery sales have more than doubled in the last two years. This strategic enhancement reinforces Walmart's commitment to its e-commerce growth and quick-delivery capabilities.
