Walmart Launches New Way to Shop at Naperville Supercenter

Walmart is announcing the arrival of a high-tech Pickup Tower at the Naperville Supercenter, providing customers with a new, exciting way to shop. The Pickup Tower, a 16-foot structure that functions like a high-tech vending machine, can fulfill a customer’s online order in less than a minute.

To use the Pickup Tower, customers simply choose from millions of items available on www.walmart.com and select the Pickup option at checkout. An associate then loads the item into the Tower and the customer retrieves it by scanning a bar code sent to their smartphone.

“We know our shoppers have busy schedules, so we’re excited to debut this quick new way to shop here in Naperville,” said Store Manager Greg Szarzynski. “Our priority is not only to provide Everyday Low Prices, but to save our customers time as well.”

Commitment to Innovation Across Illinois
Pickup Towers are the latest example of Walmart’s commitment to digital acceleration, innovation, and convenience, helping customers save time and shop whenever, however and wherever they want.

Naperville is the third Supercenter in the area to receive a Pickup Tower, after the debut of a Tower in Plainfield just a few weeks ago. Local shoppers can also take advantage of Walmart’s Online Grocery Pickup option at select stores throughout the region, most recently arriving at the Oswego Supercenter last month.

The improvements are part of Walmart’s plan to spend an estimated $56 million over the next year in Illinois through the remodeling of 16 stores and the rollout of several in-store and online innovations, like Pickup Towers and Online Grocery Pickup.
