BENTONVILLE, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Know what you are having for dinner yet? By 4 p.m., neither do nearly 80 percent of Americans. Walmart is cooking up a solution with new meal kits set to roll out to more than 2,000 stores this year. The meals will also be available via Walmart’s Online Grocery Pickup where customers can order online at lunch and pick up as soon as dinner time.
The meals, available now in more than 250 stores, were developed and tested in the retailer’s Culinary and Innovation Center and are made and assembled fresh in-store daily. On shelves in the deli, options include pre-portioned cooking kits, kits to accompany the grocers’ best-selling rotisserie chicken, along with options that can be heated up and on the table in less than 15 minutes.
