Delivery has become a significant differentiator for restaurants and retailers alike in 2019, but it seems to be on the verge of truly taking flight.

That’s because [Walgreens](https://www.walgreens.com/) has announced a partnership with [Alphabet](https://abc.xyz/) Inc.-owned [Wing Aviation, LLC](https://wing.com/), to begin tests for product delivery to customers. Wing is a drone company that specializes in the delivery of products.

On Business Casual, Daniel Litwin and Geoffrey Short examined what challenges the companies will have to overcome and what a successful launch would mean for retailers and consumers across the U.S.

Testing of the technology will begin in Christianburg, Virginia next month.
