0 249

Gopuff is expanding its service to Europe, starting with France, after launching in the United Kingdom late last year. The same-day grocery delivery service is now available in Marseille, Lille, and Toulouse, in addition to Paris. More European countries, such as Spain, are on the company’s road map.

For today’s market launch, the company is taking advantage of its acquisition of Dija. Gopuff has a ton of cash on hand — it raised $1 billion last year and is in the process of raising $1.5 billion. Also tries to partner with local brands to customize its offering to local customers.

He said Gopuff in particular has the best technology stack — both on the consumer side and rider side — to operate this kind of service at scale. It also has quite a big team already, with 2,000 people working for Gopuff in Europe — in France alone, there are 600 Gopuff employees.

When asked about the company’s performance in the U.K., its first foray outside of the U.S., Gopuff is satisfied with its current growth rate. “We’re probably close to becoming the number one from a ‘daily new users’ perspective in the U.K.,” Gola said.

He admitted that Gopuff is trying to profoundly transform the grocery sector. “Look, we’re disruptors,” he said, adding that Gopuff is making the world a better place. “We’re changing people’s lives for the better and we’re doing it in the right way by partnering with neighborhoods.”
