FedEx Opening 500 New Locations In Walmarts Across America
The move comes after a pilot program involving 47 locations in Walmart across six states.
Over the next two years, 500 new FedEx office locations will open within some Walmart stores in the U.S., the two companies said Tuesday.
The announcement comes after a pilot program that involved 47 FedEx locations in six states.
“This strategic initiative between FedEx Office and Walmart builds on a shared goal of providing customers convenience and value, so they can save both time and money,” Brian Philips, CEO of FedEx Office, said in a statement. “The growth of our store network to 500 new locations brings our brand even closer to busy consumers who have told us they are seeking secure, reliable options for packing, shipping and receiving packages.”
