San Francisco, CA — August 11, 2023 — Today, Uber Technologies, Inc. announced its new partnership with grocery chain Hy-Vee BB #:101759 to offer on-demand and scheduled grocery delivery to customers across the Midwest, strengthening Uber Eats’ grocery selection in Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
Now, more than 260 Hy-Vee grocery and liquor storefronts will be available to shop through Uber and Uber Eats. Just in time for the upcoming tailgating season, customers will be able to order their favorite Hy-Vee must-haves, from baked goods to produce and more, delivered on-demand, right to their
doorsteps.
“Uber Eats has been growing in popularity among many of our customers, making this partnership a winwin for both parties,” said Aaron Wiese, Hy-Vee’s President for Hy-Vee. “As we expand our offerings, we want to be where our customers are comfortable placing an online order. This launch allows us another avenue to offer our products and best serve the needs of our shoppers.”
To celebrate this new partnership—and in recognition of Uber Eats’ third year as the official on-demand food delivery partner of the NFL— Uber Eats is launching a sweepstakes for Uber Eats consumers ordering from Hy-Vee locations. This unique activation will offer consumers 50% off (up to $40) on their first order of $50 or more (before taxes and fees)* and the chance to enter the Uber Eats 2023 NFL Kickoff Tickets sweepstakes for the chance to win tickets to the 2023 NFL Kickoff on September 7, 2023, courtesy of Uber Eats.** Couriers will also have the chance to win this exclusive Kickoff experience.*** As always, Uber One members benefit from a $0 Delivery Fee and 5% off on Hy-Vee orders of $35 or more
