Gilligan Co., which does business in Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio under the GOCO banner, has announced a new collaboration with Lula Commerce to roll out online ordering across its Ohio network.
Gilligan Co., which was started by Patrick Gilligan in 1993 with a single location near The Ohio State University, operates over 150 c-stores and quick-service restaurants (QSRs), which have a reputation for clean facilities, convenient locations and fresh food offerings.
Lula Commerce is enabling GOCO convenience stores with Lula Prime, a digital ordering platform that aggregates third-party delivery service providers (DSPs) like DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub and allows stores to fulfill orders everywhere right from one dashboard.
“Our priority has always been providing our guests with top-tier service, fresh food and ultimate convenience,” said Chris Zimmerman, chief operating officer of Gilligan Company. “As digital ordering becomes a standard expectation for convenience retail, partnering with Lula Commerce allows us to bring the GOCO experience directly to our customers’ doorsteps.”
“Gilligan Company has built an incredible reputation across Ohio by putting their customers first and embracing innovative technology,” said Adit Gupta, co-founder and CEO of Lula Commerce. “We are thrilled to partner with the GOCO team to help them expand their digital presence.”
Gilligan Company will be able to drive sales growth across its Ohio footprint while eliminating the operational strain on store associates.
Gilligan Co. employs over 1,400 people in Ohio and Kentucky across its 150-store portfolio.
