7Krave rides into mart services

Popular food delivery company 7Krave has expanded its business and is now offering customers the option to buy and have groceries and other essentials delivered to them through its 7Kravemart.

Rory White, chief executive officer (CEO) of 7Krave, told the Jamaica observer that over $20 million has so far been spent to roll-out the service. Partnering with some of the island’s major distributors including Wisynco, Cals, Nestle, Grace and Cari-med, among several others, customers can now place order for retail and bulk goods across a long list of items or even take advantage of the option to shop by brand from its mobile app.

Following a recent soft launch of its newest business line, 7Krave, which has been in operation since 2015 and normally provides food deliveries for quick service companies including KFC and Pizza Hut and other eateries, says its venture into grocery services comes a result of it moving to double down on the boom in the delivery market seen since the novel coronavirus pandemic.

From a centralised warehouse in Kingston, the company said it has been sourcing, selling and delivering goods to customers who want to benefit from the convenience of not having to make in-person trips to the wholesale and supermarket.

“7Krave users in Kingston with the mobile app installed can access the mart section of the app and order groceries, market produce and even office supplies, with free delivery for orders over $5000, otherwise, customers will pay only $300 for delivery,” the company said in a news release.

Maurice Williams, brand manager of 7Krave, said that since the launch of the service, reception has been promising with orders reaching as much as 700 daily. Having
