Ahold Delhaize USA, Uber Eats expand delivery partnership
A major East Coast grocery company is growing its delivery access.
Ahold Delhaize USA has expanded its partnership with Uber Eats to bring on-demand grocery delivery to customers across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. Through the collaboration, nearly 2,000 stores, including Food Lion, Giant Food, Giant, Martin’s Hannaford and Stop & Shop, are now available on the Uber Eats marketplace.
Customers can shop their favorite Ahold Delhaize USA brand directly in the Uber Eats app, providing another channel for customers for online access to thousands of items such as fresh foods, pantry staples, household essentials and alcohol at select locations, with on-demand and scheduled delivery options.
“Customers expect flexibility in how they shop, and that means being wherever they are – whether through our own brand experiences or trusted marketplaces like Uber Eats,” said Keith Nicks, chief commercial and digital officer at Ahold Delhaize USA. “This partnership reinforces our brands’ commitments to being leading omnichannel retailers, making it even easier for customers to access the brands they know and trust.”
To order, customers can open the Uber Eats app, tap “Grocery” and select a nearby Ahold Delhaize USA banner and browse a wide assortment of items, add products to cart, choose a delivery time and place the order. Orders are then tracked in real time to customers’ doorsteps. Eligible orders at participating locations will also support SNAP/EBT payments, enabled through Uber’s partnership with Forage.
The grocery and delivery platform are building on the existing partnership between Ahold Delhaize USA and Uber Direct, a delivery solution supporting Ahold Delhaize USA brands’ first-party delivery channels. Through Uber Direct, Ahold Delhaize USA brands have access to Uber’s network of couriers, enabling fast, convenient delivery for customers.
