Yummy.com Expands its On-Demand Grocery Delivery

Yummy.com, a multi-channel grocery retailer that offers on-demand grocery delivery, is opening of its fifth fulfillment center in the Los Angeles area, as well as its plans to open a sixth later this year. The company announced sales growth of 21% in 2014 and the completion of its 2,000,000th order. “We are excited to announce the addition of two new fulfillment locations in 2015,” says Barnaby Montgomery, co-founder and CEO of Yummy.com. “Our success is attributable to our unique operating model and to the development of our proprietary operating system. By developing and controlling our own fulfillment system we retain ownership of our customer relationships and the organizational insight needed to compete for modern customers. “Best of all, we realize the holy grail of competitive advantage: lower operating costs, more demand and better customer service,” he adds. Located at 5520 San Vicente Boulevard, Yummy.com’s new location will open for business on Friday, January 30 with 35 new employees, serving the areas of Mid-Wilshire, Culver City, Palms and portions of Koreatown and Beverly Hills. In addition, the company plans to break ground on its sixth fulfillment location in Century City to service the communities of Westwood, Century City, West Los Angeles and portions of Beverly Hills. With its sixth fulfillment center, Yummy.com expects to fulfill in excess of 30,000 online orders each month. Other Yummy.com locations include Hollywood, Santa Monica, Silver Lake and Playa Vista. As a fully-integrated multi-channel grocery retailer, Yummy.com fulfills online orders in about 30 minutes, giving customers the ability to receive delivery of their online order in less time than a trip to the store. Barnaby  Montgomery, CEO, and Arthur Zonneveld, COO, founded Yummy.com in 2002 with a vision to bring the convenience of on-demand delivery to the consumer grocery experience.
