Walmart is adding Dunkin’ beverages and food to its delivery options so customers can order coffee, donuts and sandwiches alongside groceries on Walmart.com and the Walmart app. The rollout starts at 150 Walmart store Dunkin' tenant locations and is planned to expand to most of Dunkin’s roughly 10,000 restaurants nationwide.
Walmart customers can order Dunkin’ menu items through the Walmart app and Walmart.com alongside groceries and household items.
The initial rollout covers 150 Dunkin’ locations inside Walmart stores, with plans to expand to the majority of Dunkin’s ~10,000 standalone locations nationwide.
# What happened Walmart announced a partnership with Dunkin' to add Dunkin' menu items to Walmart's delivery platform. Customers will be able to order Dunkin' beverages and meals through the Walmart app and on Walmart.com at the same time they shop for groceries and household essentials.
# How the rollout will work The service launches first at 150 Dunkin' restaurants that operate inside Walmart stores. Walmart and Dunkin' said they plan to expand the offering to most of Dunkin's approximately 10,000 locations outside Walmart stores across the U.S.
Orders will be placed through Walmart's existing app and website. That means a shopper can add Dunkin' coffee, donuts or sandwiches to a cart that already includes groceries and everyday items and have a single delivery process.
# Why Walmart is doing this Walmart is extending the scope of its delivery business into restaurant delivery. Combining restaurant items with regular shopping orders aims to make delivery more convenient by letting customers bundle dining and grocery needs in one order and one checkout experience.
Dunkin' framed the move as a chance to reach guests "in more moments" by linking its menu to Walmart's delivery network. Scott Murphy, Dunkin' brand president and Inspire chief brand officer, said in the announcement: "By combining the strength of Walmart's delivery platform with the appeal of our Dunkin' menu, we can reach more guests in more moments, creating an experience that fits naturally into everyday life."
# What customers can expect now
# Wider context
# Practical implications for shoppers and restaurants For shoppers: this integration reduces the friction of multiple apps and separate orders. If you already use Walmart for online grocery shopping, you'll be able to add Dunkin' items to the same cart and choose a single delivery.
For Dunkin': the deal opens a new distribution channel that covers both Dunkin' cafes inside Walmart and Dunkin' standalone restaurants. The brand can reach customers who place regular grocery or household orders through Walmart's digital storefronts.
For competitors and delivery platforms: Walmart's move extends its logistics and last-mile network into prepared-food fulfillment, bringing a major retail operator into direct competition with traditional restaurant delivery services.
# Bottom line
The service follows a similar announcement with Subway as the retailer aims to become a contender in the restaurant delivery space.
The retail giant, which is getting into restaurant delivery, will let customers order from the coffee and donut chain with their grocery orders.
