Harris Teeter will offer grocery home delivery through Uber

Harris Teeter Express Lane click-and-collect online shopping will include home delivery through a partnership with UberRUSH.

The delivery option is limited to mobile shoppers at Harris Teeter's Constitution Square store in Washington, D.C., and is only available to consumers within a five-mile radius of that store.

“Harris Teeter is excited to enhance the online ordering process by offering home delivery,” said Danna Robinson, communication manager for Harris Teeter, a Matthews, N.C., operating division of Kroger. “UberRUSH delivery will help us reach our customers where they are by making the grocery shopping experience even more convenient.”

Shoppers can log on to Harris Teeter’s mobile app, order their groceries and upon checkout, can choose delivery or pickup. For delivery option, an UberRUSH driver is dispatched, collects the order and delivers the groceries.

Uber, the on-demand ride service, launched UberRUSH last year as a means of providing a convenient delivery option.
