Groceries are selected per customer specifications from Peapod, and can be delivered as soon as the next day after the order is placed.
"Peapod is excited to serve Madison," says Peapod President Andrew Parkinson. "As always, we will strive to provide a wide selection of well-priced, top quality, fresh products with the ease of Internet shopping and home delivery."
Peapod serves more than 300,000 customers each year and is owned by Royal Ahold, an international food retail and food service company from The Netherlands. The acquisition (which took place in 2001) has allowed Peapod to employ a more integrated bricks-and-clicks business strategy: expanding its partnerships with Ahold U.S.A. stores (Stop & Shop and Giant); leveraging the buying power of Ahold to make higher volume, lower-priced purchases; lowering distribution and transportation costs; and boosting inventory management to reduce out of stocks.
"At Peapod we try to amaze and delight every customer," says Parkinson. "We know that nobody is fresher when it comes to produce and we want to prove it. Peapod is offering a special treat for its first time customers in Madison, a free sampling of our best of the season produce!"
Founded in 1989 as a smart shopping option for busy people, Peapod today stands as the country's leading Internet grocer, serving 22 U.S. markets in communities in the states of Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York and New Jersey. The Skokie, Illinois-based company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Royal Ahold in The Netherlands, has achieved over 13 million deliveries since its late 1980s inception.
