Uber Technologies Inc. plans to more than double the
availability of its grocery-delivery service in the U.S. this week
and accelerate the roll out this year with a 1,200-store
partnership with Albertsons Cos.
The company on Monday said its on-demand and scheduled grocery
delivery, which launched last July, is now available in more than
400 cities and towns across the country, including major markets
such as San Francisco, New York City and Washington, DC.
"This past year has been one of incredible growth for grocery
delivery," Raj Beri, Uber's global head of grocery and new
verticals, said.
Albertsons namesake stores, along with Safeway, Jewel-Osco,
ACME, Tom Thumb, Randalls and other brands, will be available to
consumers in the Uber and Uber Eats apps, Uber said.
