AN athletic fashion retailer is now offering a same-day delivery across the country, all thanks to Walmart. Sportswear retailer Hibbett is offering both same-day and next-day delivery service for its products nationwide. This delivery service includes products under City Gear, which is also owned by Hibbett.
Ben Knighten, senior vice president of operations at Hibbett, said this will allow the company to continue offering convenience in the age of instant gratification. “Customers shop Hibbett and City Gear for their favorite footwear and athletic-inspired apparel from top brands, and now they will have the opportunity to receive coveted items quicker than ever before with a seamless omnichannel shopping experience,” he said. The company, headquartered in Alabama, has 1,169 Hibbett and City Gear specialty stores in 36 states.
The brands they sell include top footwear names such as Nike, Jordan, and Adidas. While shopping on Hibbett.com , Hibbett and City Gear customers can simply sort products available for same- or next-day delivery at checkout according to their zip code.
Hibbett is doing all of this without having to build a delivery network from scratch. Instead, it will count on a last-mile delivery service that Walmart has been providing to businesses since 2021 called Walmart GoLocal. Both help businesses set up e-commerce sites for seamless shopping.
Walmart GoLocal is a white-label delivery service for retailers, which simply means Walmart delivers for other busi.
