Aldi USA has partnered with Uber Eats to enable customers across the country to order groceries to their doorstep.

Through the app, shoppers can schedule a delivery or order product on demand.

Around 2,500 outlets of Aldi are joining the delivery service, with the move allowing customers to order a variety of products including bakery items, meats, wine and vegetables.

Aldi USA said that shoppers using SNAP-EBT, an electronic system that allows users of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program(SNAP) to pay for food using their benefits, can use their benefits at Aldi through Uber Eats, claiming it is the first retailer on the app to accept SNAP payments nationwide from day one.

Aldi USA currently offers a variety of shopping services including curb side pick-up and delivery through its website.

The company currently has over 2,500 locations across the US and plans to increase this to 3,200 stores nationwide by 2028.

Uber said the partnership is part of its plans to expand beyond meal delivery and give customers speedy access to what they need.

To celebrate the launch of the service, Aldi and Uber Eats are opening pop-up stores in New York, Miami, and Chicago to sample products before they go on sale and order them for delivery.

“At Aldi, we continually strive to make shopping easier and more affordable for the communities we proudly serve, which has helped us cultivate a devoted fan base of millions of shoppers across the nation,” said Dave Rinaldo, chief operating officer at Aldi USA. “Our partnership with Uber Eats is making grocery shopping even more convenient, allowing customers to enjoy the exceptional value and quality they love—whenever and wherever they need it.”
