Shipt and Harris Teeter add service in Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and Asheville
(firmenpresse) - WINSTON-SALEM, NC -- (Marketwired) -- 03/21/17 -- , the fastest growing online grocery marketplace, today announced that it will expand to offer grocery and alcohol delivery from across the Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and Asheville metros. To celebrate the launch of Shipt's expansion with Harris Teeter, new members who sign up for an annual Shipt membership will receive $25 off their first order.
Beginning March 23, 2017, Shipt members in these metros will have to access Harris Teeter's selection of grocery, beer and wine for delivery. With this expansion, Shipt's grocery and alcohol delivery will now be available to more than 3.7 million households across North Carolina.
"We were so excited to bring grocery delivery to residents in Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and Asheville with Shipt's initial launch back in February," said Bill Smith, founder and CEO of Shipt. "Harris Teeter is a beloved North Carolina brand, and we are proud to provide our members with access to a grocer they know and trust, with the added convenience of alcohol delivery."
Through the Shipt app, Shipt members will be able to shop a full selection of groceries, beer and wine offered at local Harris Teeter stores, note any preferences, choose a one-hour delivery window and pay for their order. To verify age for alcohol deliveries, members 21 and older will scan their IDs through the app and will be required to present the same identification to the Shipt Shopper upon delivery. As a perk to members, deliveries are free of charge on all orders over $35, inclusive of beer, wine and grocery items. For a detailed overview of the new offering, visit Shipt.com/Harris-Teeter.
Leading up to the launch, Shipt plans to grow their network of Shoppers, who are responsible for ensuring complete, accurate fulfillments of each order.

Only certified shoppers will be allowed to complete deliveries including alcohol.
