From The Trussville Tribune staff reports
TRUSSVILLE – Walmart is continuing to expand their technology in the roll-out to its third store across Birmingham. The Walmart Supercenter at Colonial Promenade Trussville now features a 16-foot-tall Pickup Tower, that functions like a high-tech vending machine, capable of fulfilling an online order in less than a minute.
“Walmart remains committed to finding fresh ways to help our customers save both time and money,” said Store Manager John Welsh. “We are pleased to bring this new technology – the Pickup Tower – to the Birmingham area, so our customers can make shopping with us even more efficient and enjoyable.”
The costumer can order from millions of items available on Walmart.com from either online or the Walmart app and select the “Pickup” option at checkout.
When the item arrives at your local store, items will be loaded into the Pickup Tower and you will receive a notification. Upon arriving at the store, simply scan the bar code sent to your smart code at the Pickup Tower and you will receive your order in less than a minute.
