Walmart is opening a new kind of gas station that offers more than just coffee, snacks, and fuel.

The convenience stores, called Walmart Pickup and Fuel, also offer same-day pickup for groceries ordered online.

There are only two locations right now ? one in Huntsville, Alabama and the other in Thornton, Colorado ? but if expanded, they could make Walmart an even bigger threat to companies like Amazon and Kroger that are betting big on the growth of online grocery shopping.
