Walmart rolling out parcel lockers to 500 stores

US retailer Walmart is looking to ramp up its roll-out of Cleveron’s PackRobot parcel lockers to more than 500 stores.

Walmart announced back in July that it planned to install the systems in 100 stores – but now that number as been raised fivefold.

In an article published by Business Insider and reproduced on Cleveron’s website, JP Suarez, Walmart’s vice president of real estate, was quoted as saying: “Think of this as an ATM for parcel pickup.

“We’re putting 500 of these towers in our stores, we love them.”
