In April, PPG announced that its Glidden paint brand is set to become the primary paint brand at national retailer Walmart. According to the release, the multiyear agreement significantly expands PPG’s current lineup of interior and exterior paints at Walmart locations.
As of April 5, customers are able to purchase the paint on Walmart’s website, with 3,800 stores in the United States expected to follow soon. The retailer reports that the new assortment includes a range of affordable options with prices starting at $13.97 for Glidden Quick Cover paint to $49.94 for Glidden High Endurance Plus paint.
PPG reports that Glidden products sold at Walmart are low-odor, low-VOC offerings. Several products in the assortment are Greenguard Gold certified, verifying that these products aim to contribute to safer, cleaner air.

PPG adds that the expanded product assortment available at Walmart will continue to include Olympic stain products that cater to woodcare enthusiasts.
