Walmart will unveil its remodeled Supercenter Friday morning and it will include the region’s first online pickup tower.
The tower is a 16-feet-tall vending machine that can fulfill a customer’s online order in less than a minute, according to a press release.
Here’s how it works: a customer selects an item on Walmart.com and selects the pickup option at checkout. When the item arrives at the store at 2021 Lynnhaven Parkway, an employee will load it into the tower. The customer picks it up by scanning a bar code sent to their phone or with a code number.
