CHICAGO, April 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading Internet grocer Peapod, LLC. today announced the expansion of service to Madison, WI. Deliveries will begin on April 17th.

Residents in Madison, Sun Prairie, Middleton and Waunakee can now visit www.peapod.com to shop for fresh fruits and vegetables, seafood, meat and dairy as well as home and office needs, best-selling national brands and private label items.

Shoppers can create personal lists, read nutrition information online, sort products rapidly by price or by nutrition criteria and take advantage of personalized online coupons. 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.

a leading company in the business of sourcing, developing and trading carbon offsets from greenhouse gas abatement projects, is partnering with Greener World Media and The Global Executive to neutralize the emissions resulting from their forthcoming Greener by Design 2009 conference.

This year's Greener by Design conference is aptly titled 'Greener Products for Leaner Times'. Green innovation isn't about creating premium products for upscale audiences, it's about cutting costs, improving efficiency, improving quality, reducing risk and retaining customers. Keynote speakers include;

- William McDonough - the renowned designer and creator of the

Cradle-to-Cradle product certification system

- David de Rothschild - the banking heir who plans to sail from San

Francisco to Sydney in a 60-foot vessel constructed entirely of

recycled materials

- Peter Arnell - the acclaimed designer and brand architect whose newest

creation, the Peapod automobile, recently went on sale by Chrysler

In addition other featured speakers include representatives from well known brands such as Microsoft Corp, Wal-Mart, Hewlett Packard and Steelcase Inc. The innovative conference also features hands-on sessions, such as the experiential "Innovation Flashes" by the global innovation consultant Strategic Inventive Thinking; and the consultative "Green Guru" sessions, during which participants meet in small groups to discuss design challenges and solutions.

EcoSecurities is the official carbon offset provider for Greener by Design 2009 and as such will calculate the emissions which have occurred as a result of the conference and retire on behalf of Greener World Media the equivalent number of carbon offsets (verified to the Voluntary Carbon Standard and California Climate Action Registry) to effectively neutralize the carbon emissions.

"Ecosecurities' innovative solutions to carbon offsets make it the perfect complement for our conference on product design and innovation," says Joel Makower, Executive Editor of Greener World Media and host of the conference. "We're pleased to partner with them and to extend their brand and products to our audience of business executives."

Steve Gutmann, Senior Commercialization Manager, EcoSecurities states "It is great to be recognized as the official carbon offset provider for such a highly regarded conference as Greener by Design. We look forward to working with Greener World Media to ensure that the environmental impact from this event is as minimal as possible."

Sendik's Food Markets will launch an online ordering service this year, co-owner Ted Balistreri said Wednesday.

The chain of eight Sendik's stores will put its entire inventory online but will not offer delivery, Balistreri said in an interview after a speech to the Milwaukee Jewish Federation.

The Sendik's service will be the second of its kind in the area in the past decade. In 2001, Pick 'n Save offered an online order service that required shoppers to pick up orders curbside at the stores. Pick 'n Save dropped the program a year later after it was not well received by customers.

"Our approach will be completely different," Balistreri said. The Balistreri family operates stores in Whitefish Bay, Mequon, Grafton, Wauwatosa, Elm Grove, Franklin, Greenfield and Germantown.

Peapod, a national online grocer, delivers orders in the Milwaukee area and southeastern Wisconsin from a distribution center in northern Illinois.
