Hy-Vee Joins Uber Eats Delivery Platform
Delivery service Uber Eats and Midwest grocer Hy-Vee have partnered to offer on-demand and scheduled grocery delivery, expanding access to the chain’s private label products.
More than 260 of Hy-Vee’s 285 grocery and liquor storefronts will be available to shop through Uber Eats, serving customers in Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wisconsin. Hy-Vee is the latest grocer to hit the Uber Eats platform, joining recent additions like Albertsons Companies, Meijer, Kroger, SpartanNash, Grocery Outlet and more.
"Uber Eats has been growing in popularity among many of our customers, making this partnership a win-win for both parties," said Aaron Wiese, Hy-Vee's president. "As we expand our offerings, we want to be where our customers are comfortable placing an online order. This launch allows us another avenue to offer our products and best serve the needs of our shoppers."
To celebrate this new partnership, and in recognition of Uber Eats' third year as the official on-demand food delivery partner of the NFL, Uber Eats is launching a sweepstakes for Uber Eats users ordering from Hy-Vee locations. This unique activation will offer consumers 50% off (up to $40) on their first order of $50 or more (before taxes and fees) and the chance to enter the Uber Eats 2023 NFL Kickoff Tickets sweepstakes.
Entrants will have a chance to win tickets to the 2023 NFL Kickoff on Sept. 7, 2023, courtesy of Uber Eats, where the Kansas City Chiefs will host the Detroit Lions in the first game of the season. Couriers will also have the chance to win this exclusive Kickoff experience.
"Hy-Vee is a beloved hometown brand, and we're thrilled to welcome them onto Uber Eats," said Christian Freese, Uber's head of Grocery and New Verticals across the U.S. & Canada. "Together we know we can make it easier than ever to have groceries and alcohol items delivered on-demand to doorsteps across the Midwest—and we're especially excited to be offering both consumers and couriers across the region the chance to attend one of the hottest kickoff games of the NFL season."
