Amazon adds Weis Markets to its site, begins delivery

Amazon is teaming up with Weis Markets to begin offering the grocer’s products on its platform and provide same-day delivery through its vast distribution network—and the online retail giant is working to do the same with more third-party retailers. 

Weis Markets delivery service includes cities across New Jersey, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland, the e-commerce giant announced Tuesday.

"Our goal is to build a best-in-class grocery shopping experience—whether shopping in-store or online—where Amazon is the first choice for selection, value and convenience,” Amazon said in a statement. “As part of that, we’re teaming up with third-party retailers we know our customers already love, like Weis Markets, to offer more selection at great prices and delivery directly from our website.” 

Weis Markets is promoting the partnership with a limited-time promotion, offering free delivery for all Weis Markets orders over $10.  

Amazon has also integrated its loyalty program with Weis Rewards, making deals available to customers who purchase groceries from Weis through Amazon’s website, the Seattle-based online retailer said.  

“At Amazon, customers get the benefit of our commitment to value, selection, and convenience no matter what store they’re shopping,” the company said. “Whether that is Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods Market, Amazon Go, Amazon.com, or one of our third-party grocers and specialty retailers like Weis Markets, customers enjoy a familiar experience with one app and a singular relationship across Amazon.”

Amazon has tinkered with its grocery operations in recent years. Last week, the retailer said it would expand its Amazon Fresh grocery delivery service to everyone, not just members of the Amazon Prime rewards program. It also said it would open new Amazon Fresh brick-and-mortar grocery stores in 2024 after an extended pause.
