A partnership between Uber and grocery delivery start-up Cornershop will see select Canadian and Latin American cities able to order groceries through the Uber and Uber Eats apps.
Later on this month, grocery delivery will be available in Miami, Florida and Dallas. The multinational ride-hailing company will be offering its on-demand grocery in collaboration with Cornershop, a Santiago, Chile-based start-up in which Uber acquired a majority stake in October 2019. The agreement is expected to close in the coming days, outside of Mexico, and this rollout marks Uber and Cornershop’s first integrated grocery delivery experience.
“Today’s product integration marks an important step in our partnership with the team at Cornershop to bring grocery delivery to millions of consumers on the Uber platform,” said Raj Beri, Uber’s Global Head of Grocery. “Uber started on the premise that people should be able to more easily get to the places they need to go, and to people they care about. This has since evolved to connecting people to food from their favourite local restaurants, and we are thrilled to bring our product expertise to the world of grocery alongside the Cornershop team.”
“We launched Cornershop almost exactly five years ago today, and it’s hard to imagine a better way to celebrate our anniversary than joining forces with the best on-demand platform around. We couldn’t be more excited to work with Uber to take our mission to millions,” said Oskar Hjertonsson, Founder and CEO of Cornershop. “Uber is the perfect partner to bring on-demand groceries from incredible merchant partners at the touch of a button across the Americas.”
