Uber Eats to begin delivering for Save Mart's stores

The Save Mart Companies, which includes more than 190 stores under the banners Save Mart, Lucky and FoodMaxx, is partnering with Uber Eats, the delivery service announced on Tuesday.  

Uber Eats launched grocery delivery in July 2020 and has established partnerships with national and regional chains such as Albertsons, Meijer, Kroger, SpartanNash, Hy-Vee and more.  

“Save Mart, Lucky, and FoodMaxx stores have been reliably serving residents in California and Nevada for decades, and from one California-based company to another, we’re proud to partner with such a beloved regional favorite,” said Christian Freese, Uber’s head of grocery and new verticals across the US and Canada, in a statement. “We look forward to a strong partnership in service of our shared communities in California and beyond.” 

Uber Eats offers free delivery and 5% off Save Mart orders of $35 or more for members of Uber One, the delivery service’s premium membership program, the company said in a statement.  

“We are thrilled to expand access and availability of our fresh quality offerings, local favorites, groceries and everyday essentials with Uber’s popular and successful platform, meeting the needs and choices of our customers,” said Tamara Pattison, senior vice president, chief digital officer at The Save Mart Companies, in a statement. “We continue our customer-centric approach by providing solutions for busy people and families who are always seeking convenience and quality coupled with affordability.”
