Amazon launches rapid grocery delivery from Metropolitan Market and expands Weis Markets tie up

Amazon is now offering same-day grocery delivery from select Metropolitan Market locations serving customers in the Greater Seattle area.

Customers in Sammamish, Queen Anne, Tacoma and Crown Hill can now place grocery orders online.

To celebrate the launch, Amazon is offering Prime members free delivery on their first three orders of $10 or more.

It is also expanding its existing grocery delivery service with Weis Markets to six additional stores in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York (Hillsborough, NJ, Doylestown, PA, York, PA, Lititz, PA, Milton, PA, and Binghamton, NY).

“By teaming up with well loved grocers like Metropolitan Market, we’re offering our customers in the Greater Seattle area even more selection, value, and convenience as they shop for their favourite foods online,” says Christian Seitel, Amazon’s Head of U.S. Grocery Partnerships.

“We look forward to expanding our two-hour delivery window offering to more Metropolitan Market and Weis Markets locations in the future.” 

For greater savings on Metropolitan Market and Weis Markets orders, Prime members can also sign up for a monthly ($9.99) or annual ($99.99) subscription which offers unlimited grocery delivery on orders over $35 across Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods Market, and a variety of local grocery and specialty retailers.

“We are thrilled about our new relationship with Amazon, which will allow us to enhance our ability to serve our guests in a new, exciting, and convenient way,” says Ron Megahan, CEO at Metropolitan Market.

“Collaborating with Amazon aligns with our ongoing commitment to serving our guests where they are, and providing them with the highest quality food and ingredients they have come to know and love from our stores.”
