Walmart teams with DroneUp Coca-Cola on drone deliveries

Coca-Cola is this week teaming up with DroneUp and Walmart to launch its Coca-Cola with Coffee product in the US, delivering samples to residents of Coffee County, GA via drones.

The offer is available to those who opted in last summer to receive updates about the launch.

Drone deliveries will be made during daylight hours to homes within a one mile radius of a Walmart supercenter.

“Coca-Cola with Coffee is a true hybrid innovation that provides the perfect solution for that mid-afternoon pick-me-up we all want, especially in today’s work-from-home environment.”

“We’re fulfilling this need state and occasion in a uniquely Coca-Cola way,” says Brandan Strickland, Brand Director, Coca-Cola Trademark.

“Many people are often torn between reaching for a soft drink or a coffee at 3 p.m. at work, at school or on the go. Now, you don’t need to leave Coca-Cola to get your coffee fix.”
