Walmart will start to deliver prescriptions to customers' doorsteps.
As CVS and Walgreens shutter hundreds of stores nationwide to shore up profits and investor sentiment, Walmart said Tuesday that it is offering a new option for customers: delivering prescriptions to their doorsteps.
The prescription delivery service is another example of how Walmart is trying to outmatch competitors on convenience along with low prices.
Still, it is unclear how much market share Walmart could win from CVS and Walgreens, both of which offer same-day, one-day and two-day prescription deliveries.
Walmart's delivery service will be available for new prescriptions and refills, the company said.
