Yandex.Lavka expands grocery delivery service in Russia
Yandex.Lavka, the on-demand e-grocery delivery service launched in 2019 by Russian tech venture Yandex, is expanding.
The venture, which delivers approximately 2,500 types of essential and non-essential goods within 10-15 minutes of receiving orders, is now available in Kazan, a city of 1.3 million in Russia’s Republic of Tatarstan.
Kazan joins Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, and the suburbs of Tel Aviv, where Yandex.Lavka operates via a network of more than 280 local warehouse sites.
It is currently available from 7am to 11:30pm in Kazan, with plans to switch to a 24-hour service.
Orders can be placed via the Yandex.Eats, Yandex.Lavka, Yandex Go, and Yandex.Market apps for iOS and Android.
Everli
Earlier this week, European e-grocery marketplace, Everli, raised $100 million in a Series C funding round led by Verlinvest.
The startup, which was previously known as Supermercato24, will use the cash to accelerate growth and expand its international footprint.
Founded in 2014, Everli lets customers order from local supermarkets for delivery.
It says that it works with some of Europe’s largest grocery brands, offering access to over 300,000 products across 70 cities.
