Ahold Delhaize USA ramps up its on-demand grocery delivery push with expanded Uber Eats tie up

Ahold Delhaize USA has announced an expanded partnership with Uber Eats involving on-demand grocery delivery to customers across the US Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.

Nearly 2,000 stores - operated by Food Lion, Giant Food, The GIANT Company, encompassing GIANT and MARTIN’s, Hannaford and Stop & Shop - are now available on the Uber Eats marketplace.

“Customers expect flexibility in how they shop, and that means being wherever they are, whether through our own brand experiences or trusted marketplaces like Uber Eats,” says Keith Nicks, Chief Commercial and Digital Officer, Ahold Delhaize USA. “This partnership reinforces our brands’ commitments to being leading omnichannel retailers, making it even easier for customers to access the brands they know and trust.” 

The move builds on an existing partnership between Ahold Delhaize USA and Uber Direct, a delivery solution supporting Ahold Delhaize USA brands’ first-party delivery channels.

“Partnering with trusted local retailers like the Ahold Delhaize USA brands allows us to bring fresh, affordable groceries and everyday essentials to more customers,” says Hashim Amin, Head of Grocery and Retail for Uber in North America. “With nearly 2,000 stores now available, customers can shop the brands they know and love, whether they’re planning ahead or ordering on the go.”

Customers can open the Uber Eats app, tap “Grocery” and select a nearby Food Lion, Giant Food, The GIANT Company (GIANT or MARTIN’S), Hannaford or Stop & Shop location and browse items, add products to cart, choose a delivery time and place the order.

Orders are then tracked in real-time to customers’ doorsteps. Eligible orders at participating locations will also support SNAP/EBT payments, enabled through Uber’s partnership with Forage. 

2026 RTIH Innovation Awards

On demand delivery will be a key focus area at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards are now open for entries and celebrate global retail technology innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our winners will be revealed at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards Ceremony, taking place at The HAC in Central London on Wednesday, 4th November.

Check out our 2025 winners here.

Our 2025 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The HAC on 16th October and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award winning comedian, actress and writer Tiff Stevenson.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “This is the awards’ fifth year as a physical event. We started off with just 30 people at the South Place Hotel not far from here, then moved to London Bridge Hotel, then The Barbican, and last year RIBA’s HQ in the West End.”

“But I’m conscious of the fact that, to quote the legend that is Taylor Swift, You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby. So, this year we’ve moved to our biggest venue yet, and also pulled in our largest number of entries to date and broken attendance records.”

He added: “This year’s submissions have without doubt been our best yet. To quote one of the judges: The examples of innovative developments across both traditional and digital retail spaces were truly remarkable.”

Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Tiff Stevenson, and all those who attended our 2025 gathering.
