Woolworths After Dark Goes Live on Uber Eats for Evening Deliveries
South Africans can now enjoy their favourite Woolworths Foodstop treats at Engen stations even after hours, thanks to a new partnership with Uber Eats.
As part of an exclusive trial, Woolworths, Uber Eats, and Engen Quickshop & Co. have teamed up to offer convenient deliveries right up until midnight — making late-night cravings easier to satisfy than ever.
Simply search “Woolies” on the Uber Eats app to reveal the much-loved meals, treats, pantry staples and flowers sold at Woolworths Foodstops, now available for delivery until midnight.
All deliveries will maintain the Woolies cold chain and shoppers can enjoy some of Woolworths' products through Uber Eats as they would if they shopped via Woolies Dash, with the benefit of extended hours.
Woolies After Dark is the natural next step in on-demand delivery, building on the Woolies Dash promise of convenience anytime and anywhere.
Evangelos Morris, head of Foodstops at Woolworths, remarked on the importance of maintaining Woolworths’ commitment to quality when planning this expansion. “We’re thrilled to launch a new service that allows us to reach our customers till midnight without compromising on our cold chain. A key differentiator in our on-demand delivery is our cold chain, and I’m delighted that Woolies After Dark will use the same, innovative technology found in Woolies Dash to ensure our customers enjoy only the best Woolies Exceptional Quality. Thanks to our cold chain, food delivered to our customers is as fresh as the food on our shelves, only now, they’re able to shop for more hours in a day.”
Twenty-four Woolworths Foodstops across Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, and the Western Cape are now available on Uber Eats, with nine additional locations set to launch by the end of March — and more expected as demand continues to grow.
“Engen Quickshop & Co. has always been about convenience. Late night delivery brings us closer to our valued customers, and we look forward to making life easier for them,” said Engen partnerships manager, Jacques Oostendorf.
Cikida Gcali, general manager for Grocery & Retail at Uber Eats, celebrated the launch, saying, “Certain parts of the country have had access to Woolworths’ food on Uber Eats during smaller trials, and the demand was exceptional. It’s clear that South Africans are eager to shop Woolworths quality on Uber Eats at times that are convenient to them. Uber, Woolworths and Engen, are synonymous with reliability and service, and I’m confident that all our users are going to love this new offering.”
