Martie, a discounted online grocer selling surplus and household items, recently opened in Texas, reports Progressive Grocer. The 38,000-square-foot warehouse will service many states across the U.S.
The service operates by working with brands to stock surplus goods, including items likely to be discarded due to overstock, package changes, or seasonality, then sells them at a discount. The products range from shelf-stable pantry items to cooking essentials and household needs.
The company sells products from over 1,500 partner brands, including Kind, Kellogg’s, and Quaker.
“Martie is the first online grocery store designed to save shoppers money while simultaneously helping the environment,” said Louise Fritjofsson, co-founder of Martie, in a statement. “We offer the best deals on products you know and love, ship everywhere within the states we operate (including rural ZIP codes), and enable shoppers to make a sustainable choice. We’re very excited to have launched in Texas, a strategically important market for us as we continue our expansion from the West Coast towards the East.”
The company currently ships to shoppers in Texas, California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana. Full Story
