Over 300 independently owned Key Food locations across the Northeast and Florida join the Uber Eats marketplace, bringing fresh groceries and everyday essentials to customers on-demand
Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER) and Key Food Stores Co-Operative, Inc., a prominent chain of family-owned and -operated supermarkets, today announced a partnership that brings grocery delivery from more than 300 Key Food member stores across the Northeast and Florida to UBER Eats, giving customers more ways to shop their local supermarkets. The partnership builds on UBER Eats' continued investment in grocery and retail, as the company grows its footprint with national and regional supermarket brands across the country.
Customers can shop from participating stores in Key Food's Family of Supermarkets, including Key Food, Food Universe, SuperFresh, The Food Emporium, Food Dynasty, and more, directly through the Uber Eats app. Customers can access a wide selection of fresh produce, meat, seafood, pantry staples, household essentials and more, with on-demand and scheduled delivery options.
"Key Food's stores understand the neighborhoods they serve, and bringing these retailers to Uber Eats gives customers greater access to the local grocery selection they know and rely on," said Prashant Garg, Head of North America, Uber Eats. "Whether they're scheduling a grocery order on the way home from work or need an ingredient they forgot at the store, this gives shoppers more choice in where they shop for groceries, and more flexibility in how they get them."
Founded in Brooklyn in 1937, Key Food is a Co-Operative of Supermarkets serving communities throughout the Northeast and Florida. Each member independently owns and operates its stores, enabling retailers to tailor their assortments and service to the needs of their local customers.

"Our partnership with Uber Eats is a strategic step in evolving how we serve our customers, expanding our digital footprint, supporting our members' growth, and making it more convenient for shoppers to access their neighborhood Key Food stores."
