• The Birmingham Business Journal reports that Shipt, described as "a local delivery service," has "expanded its services by launching a same-day delivery service for groceries.
"Shipt, which also delivers online retail purchases, is establishing a team of delivery 'pilots' that will take grocery orders, pick them up from the nearest Publix, and then deliver them to customers within the Birmingham area ... There is no limit to the quantity of items delivered, and orders can include a wide array of grocery items that total more than $35. By purchasing a MemberShipt, customers receive unlimited grocery deliveries for an annual fee of $99."
The story goes on to say that Shipt "will deliver groceries from any of the 14 Publix locations in the greater Birmingham area to downtown Birmingham, Homewood, Mountain Brook, Vestavia and the U.S. 280 corridor, as well as surrounding cities of Hoover, Alabaster, Gardendale, Helena, Pelham and Trussville."
