Sprouts Farmers Market said it has partnered with Uber Eats to broaden on-demand delivery of its produce.
The company, one of the largest specialty retailers of fresh, natural and organic food in the United States, said starting with more than 40 locations in Florida, customers will be able to order thousands of its fresh, natural and organic products through Uber Eats’ mobile app or website, where they either have their groceries delivered on-demand or schedule a delivery.
“We are excited to expand our reach and respond to customer demand for fast, convenient delivery of our high-quality better-for-you products that you can’t find anywhere else,” Sprouts president and chief operating officer Nick Konat commented in a statement.
“By partnering with Uber, more people will be able to access our uniquely healthy assortment and the season’s freshest, most delicious produce.”
The company said it plans to expand to all Sprouts locations by the end of the year, offering more than 15,000 products, including organic groceries, local farm-fresh produce, keto-friendly, gluten-free, vegan, and plant-based items.
“When consumers open the Uber Eats app, we want them to be able to get (almost, almost) anything delivered to their doorsteps—and Sprouts Farmers Market brings an incredible variety of healthy, delicious products from fresh-picked produce to baked goods and more,” added Christian Freese, head of Grocery & Retail for Uber Eats in the US and Canada.
