Frisco, Texas, is rewriting the rules of delivery. Once a quiet suburb, this city is now the epicenter of a technological revolution, using drones to deliver groceries, meals, and retail goods faster than ever before. From Alphabet’s Wing to Walmart’s ambitious moves, the numbers speak for themselves—and the future is already here.

 

A City Soaring Ahead

In December 2024, Wing, the drone delivery arm of Alphabet, expanded its operations in Frisco in partnership with DoorDash. Over 50 merchants from Stonebriar Centre now offer deliveries that arrive in under 15 minutes. These drones, flying at speeds of up to 65 mph, are redefining convenience.

 

Not to be outdone, Walmart made a game-changing decision in January 2025. The retail giant shifted its focus entirely to the Dallas-Fort Worth area, cutting ties with other cities to concentrate on Frisco's promising skies. Their drones, in collaboration with Wing and Zipline, now serve thousands of residents in the area.

 

By the Numbers

  • 65 mph: Top speed of Wing drones.
  • 150 feet: Average altitude of drone flights.
  • 15 minutes: Typical delivery time for DoorDash orders.
  • 75 drone nests: Planned expansion in the Dallas-Fort Worth region by Wing in 2025.

 

The numbers aren’t just impressive—they’re transformative.

 

What’s Next for Frisco?

Regulatory hurdles are falling fast. Wing has secured a first-of-its-kind approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to expand operations across the metroplex. By mid-2025, service hours will extend from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., further integrating drones into everyday life.

 

Frisco’s rise as a leader in drone delivery technology isn’t just a local story; it’s a glimpse into a future where delivery is faster, greener, and more efficient.

 

Why It Matters

The air above Frisco is buzzing, not just with drones but with potential. This city has embraced a new way of life, setting the standard for how drones can transform communities. While the rest of the world watches, Frisco is already living in the future.

 

Brace yourself—your next delivery might just drop from the sky.
