USA: 7-Eleven expands delivery options

Convenience retailer teams up with Uber Eats, Grubhub and Instacart, reaching on-demand delivery in over 90% of its US footprint.

7‑Eleven, Inc. has added three of the largest U.S. ordering platforms – Uber Eats, Grubhub and Instacart – to its delivery portfolio. With these additions, 7‑Eleven offers on-demand ordering to more than 90 percent of the convenience retailer’s footprint.

“When 7‑Eleven began offering delivery in 2017, we certainly didn’t foresee a pandemic accelerating on-demand ordering platforms from convenient to essential,” said 7‑Eleven Chief Operating Officer Chris Tanco. “This year we’ve doubled our delivery footprint and quadrupled our daily delivery orders.”

Customers can get products delivered directly from 7‑Eleven with their proprietary 7NOW delivery app, or through seven other platforms, with Postmates, DoorDash, Google and Favor. Instacart will offer 7‑Eleven products in the majority of its U.S. markets by the end of the year.
