Walmart The members are in for a huge deal.
The retailer announced a new partnership with fast-food chain Burger King on Thursday that will offer members of the Walmart+ subscription program 25% off any Burger King order made through the BK app. Members will also be eligible to receive a free flame-grilled Whopper with a purchase every three months starting in September, according to a press release.
Walmart positioned the additional benefits as cost savings for its members, at a time when cost-conscious restaurant-goers are increasingly looking for value deals.
“We are confident our members will welcome the additional savings, and we are excited to partner with a trusted brand like Burger King to offer this benefit,” Venessa Yates, senior vice president and general manager, said in a statement.
Walmart+ costs $12.95 per month or $98 per year and includes free shipping and delivery on Walmart orders. In 2022, Walmart entered into a streaming deal with Paramount Global to offer Walmart+ members free access to an ad-supported plan on Paramount+.
“We are excited to join the Walmart+ program as the first foodservice partner and look forward to offering Walmart+ members even more savings on their favorite flame-grilled Burger King meals,” said Pat O’Toole, chief marketing officer of Burger King North America, in a statement.
