Here are more details, per the new Walmart:

Customers of the Leesburg Walmart Supercenter will be able to order Walmart groceries online and pick them up without ever having to unbuckle their seatbelts. Busy customers love Walmart’s grocery pickup option. They select from up to 40,000 online grocery items and choose the best time to pick their items up. A Walmart personal shopper loads the groceries into the customer’s vehicle upon arrival – all at no additional cost. Walmart plans to expand the popular program to 22 stores across Virginia by the end of the year and the Leesburg store will offer this service starting on May 29.
