Bolt, which is one of the leading mobility and food delivery platforms here in Kenya, is now expanding into full-fledged grocery delivery services in Kenya as it attempts to capture an increased share of the fast-growing on-demand market for groceries, food, and essentials. This new service is dubbed Bolt Market, expanding the services that Bolt offers beyond food delivery and pitting it directly against UberEATS, Glovo, and GoBEBA.
What is Bolt Market?
Bolt Market is an extension within the Bolt Food app for customers to order groceries and essentials seamlessly. The service is offered daily from 8:00 am to 11:00 pm and will also allow customers to make a booking up to 24 hours in advance to suit their needs.
On the launch, Edgar Kitur, the General Manager of Bolt Food, remarked:
“With the launch of Bolt Market grocery delivery in Kenya, we want to serve the food and groceries ecosystem better. Bolt Market offers more than 1,500 thoughtfully curated products, ranging from fresh produce to household essentials. Our teams treat the products with care so that our customers will receive quality products they'd have chosen for themselves but save lots of precious time in doing so.”
Where and How Bolt Market Operates
Bolt Market will operate from its store located in Kilimani and serve customers within a 10 km radius. And since the company is currently in a celebratory mode, Bolt Market is offering:
- Free delivery within a 3 km radius.
- Discounts of up to 80% on selected items.
The latest service has also been designed to seamlessly integrate into the Bolt Food app, providing customers access to a range of over 2,000 products, including fresh produce sourced locally, beverages, and household staples.
