This week, Kroger and Drone Express announced a pilot program offering grocery delivery by autonomous drones.
Jody Kalmbach, Vice President of Product Experience, said, “Kroger’s new drone delivery pilot is part of the evolution of our rapidly growing and innovative e-commerce business which includes pickup, delivery, and ship and reached more than $10 billion in sales in 2020. The pilot reinforces the importance of flexibility and immediacy to customers, powered by modern, cost-effective, and efficient last-mile solutions. We’re excited to test drone delivery and gain insights that will inform expansion plans as well as future customer solutions.”
E-commerce keeps evolving at a staggering pace as large retail chains constantly look for ways to automate the process, expand and become more cost-effective. And drone delivery seems to tick all the boxes for yet another big grocery chain.
