The rollout is set to occur before Thanksgiving 2024, marking the beginning of a broader plan to establish 92 Walmart in-store locations in four states over the following 18 months.
The inaugural location opened on 4 November 2024 in Mexia, Texas.
Mr Gatti’s Pizza CEO Jim Phillips said: “The grand opening of these initial locations is a milestone for Mr Gatti’s as we launch our partnership with Walmart.
“By bringing our restaurants into Walmart, we’re making it easier for families to enjoy our pizza — whether they’re shopping, picking it up to go or having it delivered. This first location sets the standard for what customers can expect as we expand in the coming months.”
