By GlobalDataAlbertsons digital business development and innovation vice-president Amber Kappa said: “Our growing partnership with Uber Eats brings new convenience to shopping our stores.
“Our goal is to make it easier for people to get their groceries, so they can focus on the goodness of sharing a meal.”
Uber said that the expansion is part of its ongoing commitment to the retail and grocery categories.
Uber grocery head Oskar Hjertonsson said: “Together with Albertsons, we’re evolving the ways we can get groceries—and so much more—to people’s doorsteps across the country.
“Since launching our US grocery category in 2020, we have seen a huge appetite for easy, fast delivery from trusted retailers, and with this expanded partnership, we’re excited to serve more people with even more choice and convenience on Uber Eats.”
Earlier this year, Uber Eats partnered with US-based curated ‘quick commerce’ retailer FastAF Technologies to launch a fast delivery service in select US cities.
