Grocery delivery app, Grocemania, has recently launched in Birmingham, enabling people in the city to get groceries delivered to their home within as little as an hour.
Launched in February 2019, Grocemania’s app and online platform allows consumers to buy groceries from local stores, including the likes of Nisa, Londis and Spar stores located in BP petrol stations, as well as independent retailers. The company also boasts partnerships with major household brands including the likes of Unilever and Pepsico.
There is no minimum spend on orders. The app charges a fixed delivery fee of £4.50 on orders under £10; £2.50 on orders between £10 and £30; and free delivery for orders over £30. Birmingham users can receive £10 off their first Grocemania order, using the code: LAUNCHGM.
The app is already operational in London, Bristol, Sheffield, Leeds and Brighton, making Birmingham the sixth city to have access to the rapid grocery delivery service.
Earlier this year, Grocemania secured £173,000 in its latest funding round, far exceeding its initial £100,000 target. The grocery delivery app is now preparing for expansion across North England, with plans to launch in Newcastle and Manchester over the coming months.
Askar Bulegenov, founder and director of Grocemania, said: “While the UK is beginning to reopen after lockdown, there remains a need for rapid grocery delivery services – particularly among vulnerable people who are either comfortable or unable to venture to the shops.
“Grocemania is answering the call, providing people who live and around Birmingham with the convenience of our one-hour grocery delivery service. Residents across the city can get fresh produce delivered to their front door quickly and safely, while simultaneously supporting the independent local retailers listed on the app. From small supermarkets and convenience stores through to corner shops and independent grocers, we are making sure that everyone has access to fresh produce, whenever they need to restock their cupboards.”
