In a surprise move, Trader Joe’s announces it’s stopping its grocery delivery service in New York.
Trader Joe’s is halting its grocery delivery service in New York after 10 years, effective March 1, at a time when most supermarket chains are rolling out delivery programs.
According to a report by Business Insider, Trader Joe’s has no plans to bring delivery to other markets and ended the program because it was too expensive.
“Instead of passing along unsustainable cost increases to our customers, removing delivery will allow us to continue offering outstanding values—quality products for great everyday prices, and to make better use of valuable space in our stores,” Trader Joe’s representative Kenya Friend-Daniel told Business Insider.
