“Walmart says faster delivery is changing how customers shop, with more people using 30-minute delivery for everyday needs like diapers, cold medicine and meal ingredients, the company told Axios.

Why it matters: Retailers are increasingly competing on speed — not just price — as Walmart, Amazon, Target and grocery chains battle to become consumers’ go-to platform for urgent shopping.

Driving the news: Walmart says it can now reach 60% of U.S. households in 30 minutes or less. The capability is currently offered in Dallas, Houston, Chicago, St. Louis, Atlanta, Tampa and Oklahoma City, with plans to expand further.”
