Albertsons to expand e-commerce

Albertsons plans to add click-and-collect and delivery at its Jewel-Osco, Shaw’s, United Supermarkets, Acme Market and Star Market banners using MyWebGrocer’s platform, MyWebGrocer announced.

“We wanted to offer customers an integrated digital experience that leveraged an experienced provider and would bring our e-commerce offering to market quickly, while still providing a best-in-class user experience,” Shane Sampson, chief marketing and merchandising officer at Albertsons Co., Boise, Idaho.

Albertsons has used MyWebGrocer’s software and services since February 2012 for online shopping lists and digital circulars, Sampson said.

Digital sales at Albertsons’ Safeway subsidiary currently make up the bulk of Albertsons’ online business. The retailer also offers delivery at Albertsons stores in select markets
