Uber and Kroger roll out nearly 2,700 stores on Uber Eats, Uber and Postmates, expanding same-day grocery delivery nationwide.
Uber Technologies, Inc. and The Kroger Co. on Thursday announced the launch of nearly 2,700 Kroger Family of Companies stores across the Uber Eats, Uber, and Postmates apps, significantly expanding same-day grocery delivery for customers nationwide.
The rollout allows shoppers to order fresh groceries, Kroger’s Our Brands products, household essentials, and more from their local Kroger banner with on-demand or scheduled delivery through Uber’s platforms. It follows the companies’ previously announced plan to broaden access, choice, and value for millions of U.S. households.
In addition to Kroger’s floral and sushi offerings already available on Uber Eats, customers can now shop full-store assortments from banners including Ralphs, Fred Meyer, King Soopers, Smith’s, Fry’s, Harris Teeter, and Mariano’s, among others. Orders can be scheduled for delivery at times that best fit customers’ routines.

To mark the national launch, Uber is offering discounts of up to 50 percent off a first order from select Kroger banners. Uber One members will also receive a $0 delivery fee on eligible orders, alongside other membership benefits.
“Customers’ needs evolve constantly, and at Kroger we’re committed to meeting them with solutions that fit every moment,” said Jody Kalmbach, group vice president of digital experience and e-commerce at Kroger. “Collaborating with Uber enables us to deliver greater convenience and flexibility, helping more families access the food they love with ease and reliability.”
Hashim Amin, Uber’s North American head of grocery and retail, said the expanded partnership gives shoppers a simple and reliable way to order weekly groceries or last-minute essentials. “We’re excited to build on our shared vision for convenience and give households even more flexibility in the months ahead,” he said.
The nationwide expansion underscores the growing role of third-party delivery platforms in grocery retail, as major chains look to meet rising consumer expectations for speed, convenience, and choice.
