Grab launches on-demand grocery service
Grab, Southeast Asia’s leading super app, continues to offer ways to serve the everyday essential needs of Filipinos through the launch of GrabMart. With the limitations and restrictions due to the COVID-19 situation, Grab has provided a solution that will make acquiring of basic necessities easier despite the enhanced community quarantine.
Through GrabMart, users can purchase grocery items, personal care products, and soon, even medicines. It can be from specialty stores and well-known retail partners. GrabMart partnered with Robinsons Supermarket, Great Deals Ecommerce Corporation, FamilyMart, Starbucks at Home, ASSI Fresh Plaza, Fetch! Naturals, Dog City, and Barcino to start. GrabMart is one of the few app-based grocery services that offers on-demand delivery, which means orders are expected to be delivered as early as 30 minutes or within a few hours.
GrabMart BETA is currently available in select areas. These are Quezon City, Pasig, Manila, Mandaluyong, Makati, San Juan, Valenzuela, Paranaque, and Taguig. It will soon expand to more locations within Metro Manila in the coming weeks.
Grab your Essentials with GrabMart
“With the launch of GrabMart, we are hoping to further serve Filipinos during this trying time. Aligned with our community-wide GrabBayanihan COVID-19 response, GrabMart helps not only consumers who need access to daily essentials, but also our delivery-partners and merchant-partners whose livelihood and businesses have been affected by the situation,” said RJ Cabaluna, Grab Philippines Country Marketing Head.
Similar to GrabFood and GrabExpress, cash payment is still available, but users can have a hassle free payment via GrabPay. With this, customers can practice Contactless Delivery for safer payments and transactions. Delivery fee during the Beta period ranges from as low as P89 to P149 based on distance to the store. A minimal service fee of P30 applicable for all orders.1
