The San Antonio, Texas-based regional grocery retailer is providing a digital home management platform with its first presence in physical retail.
H-E-B is rolling out branded displays from Thumbtack, which provides homeowners digital access to home service providers, in more than 300 of its Texas-based stores. The displays enable H-E-B customers to scan a QR code to find and hire local pet service providers while shopping.
Pet services available through the H-E-B-Thumbtack integration include dog walking, grooming, pet sitting, and training. This is Thumbtack’s first move into physical retail, and the platform plans to further expand its physical footprint in the year ahead.
“Thumbtack’s job is to make caring for everything in and around the home a seamless experience for the homeowner,” said David Steckel, Senior Director of Strategic Partnerships at Thumbtack. “Expanding into physical retail brings us one step closer to that by allowing us to be a partner for consumers whether they’re shopping in-store for their pets or getting their backyards ready for hosting.”
