Buymie partners with Dunnes Stores for same-day grocery
delivery
Sure Ventures plc, a London listed venture capital fund which
invests in early stage software companies in the rapidly growing
technology areas of augmented reality ('AR'), virtual reality
('VR'), Internet of Things ('IoT') and Artificial Intelligence
(AI). We are pleased to provide an update on one of its Investments
held through its commitment in Sure Valley Ventures Fund
("SVV").
Buymie has announced a new partnership with Dunnes Stores,
Ireland's second most popular grocery chain, which will allow
customers to be able to order groceries from 24 stores in the
greater Dublin area and in Cork city for same-day delivery. Under
the partnership, customers will be able to book delivery slots for
as little as one hour or up to seven days in advance.
To access the delivery service, customers can download the
Buymie mobile app and, once registered, can select to shop for
groceries within the Dunnes online grocery store. All customers
have access to their own personal shopper who will let them know if
items are out of stock and offer alternatives. Customers can also
add a request for shoppers to look for items that they can't find
themselves on the app.
Online grocery sales have surged during the pandemic and are
still rising despite the easing of lockdown restrictions. Sales
grew by 121.7 per cent over the four weeks ending 19 September,
according to Kantar, with new shoppers accounting for almost a
quarter of the EUR133.6 million spent on online groceries in the
previous 12 weeks.
Sure Ventures PLC has made a EUR7m commitment to SVV,
representing an interest of 25.9% across the SVV investment
portfolio, including the Sure Valley Ventures stake in Buymie.
Gareth Burchell: "This is another major development for Buymie
and continued validation of the opportunity that presents itself.
The differentiating qualities of the Buymie service are its "Store
agnostic" model and its personalised service. The growth trajectory
that Buymie find themselves on is very impressive."
