The grocery chain is designing groups of products, like a baby care bundle with wipes and formula; wellness bundle with medications and fluids; and a s’mores bundle with graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate, that meet the limitations of the drone delivery service.
The launch of the pilot program starts with testing this week at its Centerville, Ohio, store before rolling the service out to customers.
“Kroger and Drone Express made a great choice in piloting this program in Centerville – a community with a robust business network focused on progress and stability near the birthplace of aviation,” Centerville Mayor Brooks Compton said in a statement.
