Grubhub adds first office supplies retailer to platform

Grubhub is continuing to expand beyond restaurants, convenience and grocery.

Weeks after adding its first pet retailer, PetSmart, the delivery platform has announced that it is launching a partnership with Office Depot, making it the first office supplies chain to be available for delivery on Grubhub.

More than 6,000 items are available for on-demand delivery, including laptops, printers, ink, paper products, writing supplies and tech accessories, from more than 800 Office Depot locations in 42 U.S. states.

“Whether they’re a student preparing for finals, an office administrator who needs to restock supplies, or a working professional setting up their home office, we’re excited about all of the ways our customers can benefit from having access to office supplies on Grubhub,” said Craig Whitmer, VP of new verticals at Grubhub. “Adding office supplies to our marketplace reflects our commitment to being a platform where customers can get more of what they need.”

Grubhub says the addition of Office Depot provides even greater convenience for Grubhub Corporate Accounts clients, many of whom are office administrators responsible for restocking supplies. A recent Grubhub internal survey found that more than 80% of administrators have encountered situations where they run out of essential supplies they need the same day.
