Uber Eats has expanded its grocery delivery service to include new partnerships with Big Y and King Kullen in the Northeast; Superlo Foods, Lunds & Byerlys and Foxtrot in the Midwest and Texas; and Vallarta Supermarkets in California.
The latest additions build on Uber Eats’ momentum in the grocery space, complementing the platform’s national partnerships with leading grocers while catering to regional preferences and tastes.
For grocers looking to offer delivery to their areas with Uber Eats, a smooth onboarding process is key.
“Uber has been absolutely fantastic to work with,” said James Randall of Memphis-based Superlo Foods. “Working through integrations can be difficult, but they meet you where you are and have the flexibility to adapt to you.”
Expanding Uber’s regional footprint
“Our goal is to provide customers with an unparalleled selection of grocery options, from national brands to the local retailers they trust most,” said Hashim Amin, head of grocery and retail for North America at Uber.
“With this latest expansion, we’re deepening our investment in regional grocery partners and making it easier than ever for customers to get their grocery shopping done from the comfort of their homes.”
Uber Eats has seen significant growth in its grocery division, with consumer demand for delivery rising. By integrating regional favorites into the platform, Uber Eats is responding to growing consumer preference for local and specialty grocery options alongside national brands.
