“Now with Uber Eats, our customers have more options to quickly and easily order a California Crunch Roll for dinner tonight or send a fresh, premium floral bouquet just to say, ‘I am thinking about you’.”

The latest effort is part of Kroger enterprise’s efforts to provide more convenience and value to its customers.

Customers can also custom wrap the Bloom Haus floral bouquets they order via Uber Eats’ website or mobile application.

The same applies to freshly prepared food items, including sushi rolls and combos, dumplings, bottled sauces and poke bowls.

Uber US and Canada grocery and retail head Christian Freese said: “This new curated collaboration with Kroger across floral and sushi makes it easier than ever for people to treat themselves and others on-demand.

“Uber Eats helps to make life a little more effortless, and we’re happy to be working with the Kroger Family of Stores across the country to save time for what matters most – friends, family and loved ones.”
