The map below highlights those states where an eGrocery service is offered locally. Although there are many eGrocers in the US that deliver nationwide, this map represents eGrocers that offer local delivery and/or pick-up with a wide range of products. As eGrocery continues to expand throughout the US we will update the map to reflect those states and companies. |

Albertsons: Before being bought by a CVS/Super Valu/Cerberus consortium in January 2006, Albertsons were the second largest grocer in the US. They are still the largest eGrocer, in terms of areas covered. Over 1,000 zip codes are covered in 9 states – mainly out of Albertsons stores, but Acme Markets is also used in Philadelphia.
Albertsons originally picked their orders using a centralized warehouse and then changed to the wareroom option. A decision was then taken to use the in-store picking in 2002 and Albertsons have rolled out the in-store model with some success. The in-store picking model allows greater flexibility, faster roll-out and less upfront costs.

Safeway: The US’s third largest grocer have made a success out of their eGrocery ventures. A combination of minimum order values, in-store picking and carefully selected markets have made sure that Safeway customers are as happy as the Safeway Financial Director. A company called Grocery Works controls the online operation of Safeway. Grocery Works is 54% owned by Safeway and 35% owned by Tesco who have brought their expertise in in-store picking over from Europe. Safeway service almost 1,000 zip codes in 7 states (plus Washington D.C.) through Safeway, The Vons and Genuardi’s.

Amazon Fresh: the world's best known eCommerce company has turned its attention to eGrocery. Amazon has offered grocer items for sale on its website since 2005, but these items were not perishable products and they were shipped overnight. It quickly became apparent that the model that worked for books and CDs would not work for groceries and so two fulfillment centers were built in Seattle to serve the Seattle marketplace. Mercer Island was chosen as the initial zip code and Amazon's new approach to eGrocery was launched in the late summer of 2007. More zip codes were quickly added along with unique fulfillment initiatives such as early morning unattended drop-offs.
