LuLu partners with food apps for faster delivery

Regional retailer LuLu has joined hands with a number of food delivery apps and other partners to further widen its reach and speed up its online grocery delivery services, in view of the current curfew restrictions all over the country to combat the spread of the coronavirus.
As part of the new initiative, shoppers can now order their groceries through popular apps such as HungerStation, ToYou, Careem NOW and Wasel. LuLu has created a list of essentials and daily groceries from which shoppers can order for speedy deliveries at their doorsteps.
Shehim Mohammed, director of LuLu Hypermarkets in Saudi Arabia, said: “In wake of the current pandemic, we are exploring all possible avenues to ensure that residents in the Kingdom get their orders as quickly as possible. Apart from the food delivery apps, we have also tied up with Aramex, SMSA and many rent-a-car companies to expedite the delivery of online shopping orders.”
HungerStation and ToYou went live with LuLu groceries on March 29 while the others will be up and running in the next couple of days.
“We are fully aware of our responsibilities as a leading retailer and have ensured that our stores and warehouses are well stocked. We are working very closely with government authorities, suppliers and logistics partners to ensure uninterrupted and sustained supplies while maintaining the highest standards of hygiene, health and safety. We thank all our shoppers for their support and urge them to remain calm and stable, as there is absolutely no need for any anxiety or panic,” added Mohammed.
