Walmart and Zipline Expand Drone Delivery in North Texas

Walmart continues its commitment to logistics innovation with the implementation of a new drone delivery system at its store located at 2900 Renaissance Square, Fort Worth, TX. According to the official Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) registration number TABS2025012665, the project will have an estimated investment of $750,000 and is expected to be operational by July 2025.

The project, dubbed “Walmart Store #3044 Zipline Drone Delivery,” involves installing specialized infrastructure for the use of drones in product delivery. This will include the construction of a launch and receiving platform, as well as the integration of advanced technology to efficiently coordinate deliveries.

With a footprint of 5,000 square feet, the initiative seeks to streamline order distribution, reduce wait times, and improve the customer experience.

This drone delivery system could revolutionize the way consumers receive their products in Fort Worth and, eventually, other cities. Walmart has conducted similar tests in several U.S. states, and with this new step, it reaffirms its commitment to digital transformation and logistics efficiency.
