Amazon is plotting an unprecedented expansion of its same-day delivery operation that could redraw the map of American retail and take on Walmart's biggest advantage in everyday shopping.

The initiative, codenamed Project Mercury, would expand Amazon's same-day fulfillment network to more than 1,000 locations by 2031, an increase of more than tenfold from the roughly 85 facilities the company operates today, according to internal planning documents reviewed by Business Insider.

The effort will cost billions of dollars and could reshape how Americans shop for everyday items such as fresh food, paper towels, and cough medicine.
