More Than 2,000 Albertsons Stores Now Available on Uber Eats

Albertsons Cos. is expanding its partnership with Uber, making more than 2,000 of its stores accessible through Uber Eats.

The expansion brings nearly 800 new locations to the app, including to consumers in Connecticut, Indiana, New Hampshire, Utah, Vermont and Rhode Island for the first time, the companies said in a release.

In addition to being found with Uber Eats’ grocery category, the stores—including the Albertsons, Safeway, Jewel-Osco, ACME, Tom Thumb and Randall banners—will also now be included within the convenience section, allowing consumers to order items for deliver through “express” lanes. For Uber One members, which launched last November, the delivery fee is waived on all convenience orders from Albertsons “express” stores with a $15 minimum purchase. 

“Our growing partnership with Uber Eats brings new convenience to shopping our stores,” said Amber Kappa, VP of business development and innovation, digital, for Albertsons Cos. “Our goal is to make it easier for people to get their groceries, so they can focus on the goodness of sharing a meal."

Later this year, consumers can take advantage of Albertsons’ member pricing and promotions on Albertsons grocery orders where available. Local banner loyalty program members, including Albertsons for U and Safeway for U, can link their account in the Uber Eats app to earn loyalty points on purchases.

"Since launching our U.S. grocery category in 2020, we have seen a huge appetite for easy, fast delivery from trusted retailers, and with this expanded partnership we’re excited to serve more people with even more choice and convenience on Uber Eats,” said Oskar Hjertonsson, head of grocery for Uber.

Uber said it has seen consistent growth in the U.S. since launching grocery. In the last year, Uber has added more than 120,000 non-restaurant merchants to the platform in the U.S.—a 64% year-over-year increase, it said.

Boise, Idaho-based Albertsons has 2,276 retail stores with 1,722 pharmacies, 402 associated fuel centers, 22 dedicated distribution centers and 20 manufacturing facilities across 34 states and the District of Columbia.
