Canadians can now have groceries and household items from Walmart Canada delivered through Skip, the companies announced Thursday.
Skip, a Canadian delivery network, said it has teamed up with Walmart Canada to offer customers faster and more accessible shopping from more than 300 Walmart stores across the country.
The partnership allows couriers to pick, pack and deliver orders directly from Walmart locations using Skip’s Shop + Pay model. Products available include groceries, cleaning supplies, home goods, pet care and personal essentials.
“We know Canadians are juggling a lot – rising costs, busy schedules, and the desire to make life a little easier,” said Paul Sudarsan, senior vice-president of partnerships at Skip.
“Teaming up with Walmart Canada brings together the best of both worlds: trusted value and everyday convenience. From midweek grocery top-ups to last-minute household restocks and everything in between, we’re helping Canadians get what they need, when they need it, without adding stress to their day.”
Andrew Go, vice-president of eCommerce at Walmart Canada, said the collaboration aligns with the retailer’s goal of providing affordable and accessible service.
“We want to be the retailer Canadians trust most, no matter how they like to shop. For us, it’s all about making things easy, quick and affordable and being there for customers in ways that matter most to them,” Go said. “That’s why we’re so excited to bring our wide range of groceries and household essentials to Skip. It’s another way we’re helping Canadians save money and live better.”
Skip described the collaboration as part of its ongoing retail expansion and a major step toward becoming the go-to destination for on-demand retail. The company said the partnership pairs Walmart’s product variety and affordability with Skip’s delivery speed and reliability.
Founded in 2012 in the Prairies, Skip has grown into a nationwide network that connects millions of Canadians in more than 450 cities and towns with over 50,000 restaurant, grocery, convenience and retail partners. The company is a subsidiary of Just Eat Takeaway.com.
