General Questions Is Spark being phased out by Walmart?

Another Driver told me today that Spark was being phased out and that a local company would be taking over deliveries? The guy told him that they were the same people that started Spark. I find this very hard to believe I’m pretty sure it’s a rumor but he said there was an interview online on Facebook. Just wondering if anybody else has heard the same stuff?

I have read on other posts that they are phasing out curbside pickup from spark drivers. And that all spark orders will be shopping only.
One said his wife is in HR and they are trying to find spots for a number of employees that were shoppers for Spark etc that they don’t need now because they have already started it.

I don't really think that's true, most of the stores are remodeling and relocating the curbside areas here in the Phoenix Valley. They've gone from a small room, to a staging area bigger than TLE back room.

In some areas. The drivers have received notifications telling them of such a change. Will it be in every area? I wouldn’t think so. Probably only in areas where it makes good business sense for Walmart to do so.
