Shipt, an on-demand grocery delivery service, announced that it will expand its service to Greenville beginning on Jan. 7, 2016. Shipt will deliver fresh Publix groceries to Greenville and surrounding areas of Berea, Easley, Greer, Mauldin and Simpsonville.
“As we looked ahead to 2016, our team knew that Greenville was one of many cities where we had heard from busy families asking us to bring Shipt to their area,” said Bill Smith, founder and CEO of Shipt. “Our business is hyper-responsive, both in determining where to go next and in taking care of our customers who trust us as their grocery-shopping partner. As we expand our presence to Greenville, our team is excited to simplify many lives through the convenience of grocery delivery.”
Customers can select from the full range of items available at local Publix stores using Shipt’s integrated mobile app. The app allows customers to select specific items and provide notes regarding any preferences or substitutions. There is no limit to the quantity of items delivered, and orders can include fresh produce, meat and perishable items.
To support its expansion to Greenville, the company will hire hundreds of shoppers to select high-quality produce and communicate closely with the customer to ensure complete, accurate fulfillment of each order.
By purchasing a membership, customers receive unlimited grocery deliveries for an annual fee of $99. Prior to the Jan. 7 launch, customers can receive a pre-launch price of $49 for a one-year membership. Members receive unlimited free delivery for orders over $35. Shipt offers sale items including “buy one, get one free” items from the grocery store’s weekly sales. Shipt prices vary from grocery store prices by an average of approximately $5 on a $35 order.
