Empire Company Limited, the parent company to Canadian retailers such as Sobeys and Longo’s, recently announced an expansion to its Voilà grocery home-delivery service. The platform will be available to its customers in Calgary, Edmonton, and the surrounding areas of Canada.
“Delivering directly from our dedicated facility allows us to provide customers with better product freshness and quality and more reliable delivery. At Voilà, we show up on time with everything our customers ordered,” commented Sarah Joyce, Senior Vice President, E-Commerce, Empire Company Limited.
According to a press release, Voilà offers nearly 20,000 products from Safeway, Sobeys, Chalo! FreshCo, and more, including local favorites from Alberta; products are guaranteed fresh at regular in-store prices with no hidden fees and delivered straight to customers' homes in convenient one-hour delivery windows.
“Customers love Voilà because of our unparalleled home-delivery service. We are excited to bring that same service to Albertans,” adds Joyce. “Voilà truly is grocery delivery, reimagined.”
The delivery service is powered by Ocado Group’s brand-new, 290,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art customer fulfillment center in Rocky View County, Alberta, where robots help assemble orders before the Voilà team delivers them to customers in refrigerated vehicles.
