From the outset, Walmart aimed to differentiate GoLocal through strategic alliances and operational efficiency. Initially, the service utilized a mix of Walmart associates, gig workers, and third-party delivery companies to meet delivery demands. Retail giant Home Depot was the first major partner, utilizing GoLocal for same-day, next-day, and bulky item deliveries. As the service expanded, the partner list grew to include notable names such as 1-800 Flowers, Books-A-Million, Hibbett, Sur La Table, UrbanStem, and Sally Beauty. These partnerships highlight the diverse industries that recognize the value of Walmart's delivery capabilities and the crucial role GoLocal plays in enhancing their logistics operations.
