7Krave rides into mart services

significantly grown its customer base since the pandemic, the company, which currently services over 300,000 customers, now boasts over a million in food deliveries since its establishment, a success it is hoping to replicate with its 7Kravemart business to which it has so far dedicated some 10 of its approximately 170 delivery staff.

“We recognise how many people’s perspectives and practices shifted during the onset of the pandemic; so rather than getting comfortable, the team developed 7Kravemart to get into other areas of delivery as we offer added convenience. Customers won’t have to worry about their groceries being tossed together from all over town, or the delivery personnel shopping on your behalf making mistakes.

“We have processes in place to ensure all items are fresh, carefully packaged and distributed. Orders are being packaged and delivered throughout Kingston and St Andrew, straight to the customers’ doors in as little as 30 minutes or up to three hours,” Williams said.

“We have started out with some of the main staple items including rice, sugar, flour, beverages and other essentials and we are ever expanding on the variety we have by adding new products every day. We recently added the bulk option and we have been building that out. Our aim is to be cheaper than most, if not all, supermarkets. In offering our service at a really low rate, we cut out the middle man who normally sells his goods at a mark-up for profit; however, most of our benefit or profits directly comes from the delivery aspect,” he added.

Currently offering the service to mainly Kingston customers, plans are underway to further expand the 7Kravemart deliveries to other parishes.

“We will be going to different areas very soon, St Catherine is next and is to be followed by Ocho Rios and Montego Bay as we look to have warehouses across different parishes,” White further told Sunday Finance.
