GRAND RAPIDS, MI - Partnership news is always welcomed here at the ANUK office, and with the holiday season picking up, a distribution partnership is nothing short of magical. SpartanNash is entering the hustle and bustle of the season with Uber by its side, delivering convenience and quality to shoppers.
“SpartanNash’s mission is to deliver the ingredients for a better life, and our partnership with Uber enables us to expand our reach within the communities we serve,” said SpartanNash Chief Executive Officer Tony Sarsam. “We will continue to aggressively pursue strategic relationships and investments, making the grocery shopping experience more convenient, enjoyable, and affordable for the people we serve.”
With access to this service, last-minute shoppers and those looking to avoid in-person shopping throughout the Midwest will have access to on-demand and scheduled grocery delivery, a release explained. Now, shoppers can conveniently order everything from seasonal produce to prepared foods and more.
Beginning this week, shoppers will be able to order deliveries straight to their homes at almost 100 SpartanNash locations, including Family Fare, Martin’s Super Markets, and D&W Fresh Market locations, via Uber and Uber Eats.
“SpartanNash’s focus on customer-centric innovation is core to our next stage of growth,” said SpartanNash Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy and Information Officer Masiar Tayebi. “Partnering with Uber is an important marker of this, meeting our shoppers wherever they are—in stores or online. We are proud to expand our reach across the Uber and Uber Eats platforms to new customers who are hungry for convenience delivered to their doorstep.”
Moving forward, the two companies are extending this service to SpartanNash’s network of 2,100 independent grocery retail customers as part of the partnership in an effort to deliver customer-centric innovation.
“We’re thrilled to be joining forces with the team at SpartanNash to bring its corporately-owned banners onto the Uber Eats app, helping to expand their digital strategies and customer reach through technology,” said Christian Freese, Uber’s Head of Grocery and New Verticals across the United States and Canada. “And we’re also incredibly excited that this partnership expands the reach of grocery delivery from Uber Eats to cities and towns across the north Midwest for the first time, thanks to these beloved grocery brands.”
Sing to the tunes of convenience and partnerships with us as ANUK continues to keep an eye on the wire.
