Grab, Southeast Asia's leading superapp, continues its commitment of helping Filipino shoppers conveniently access groceries and everyday essentials through the partnership between GrabMart and SM Markets. GrabMart consumers in Metro Manila and Cebu can now order fresh and frozen produce, groceries, home care products, personal care essentials and so much more from SM Supermarket, Hypermarket and Savemore via the app and receive them in under an hour.
“We are thrilled to welcome SM Markets as GrabMart’s latest partner. At Grab, we always strive to give the consumer the best shopping experience, and SM’s vast network of stores and wide range of products will make shopping more convenient to Filipinos, especially people short on time or unable to easily visit stories, such as families and busy young workers. As we continue to manage the pandemic situation, we hope that the addition of SM Markets to GrabMart will encourage more people to adopt online shopping,” said Grab Philippines Head of Deliveries Anton Bautista.
Meanwhile, SM Supermarket President Jojo Tagbo believes that the company's partnership with GrabMart will help shoppers manage more easily during today's challenging times, particularly thanks to SM Markets' wide variety of products and Grab's fast delivery times. “The pandemic has affected the lifestyles of our customers including how they shop for groceries. Our goal is to provide them with multiple convenient ways of how they can get what they need from SM Markets. From physically going to the store, shopping online, and call-to-deliver, we offer choices where they can be comfortable. And now, we are partnering with the leading superapp in the country further strengthening our omnichannel offerings,” he said.
SM Markets' availability on GrabMart is the latest development in the continuing strategic partnership between Grab and The SM Group. Aimed to promote safe and responsible malling, the two have also partnered to provide ride discounts, shopping vouchers and free parking vouchers to those who visit an SM Supermall until June 30, 2021. The brands have also entered into a cooperation to allow users of Grab's in-app wallet GrabPay to top-up their accounts at SM Supermalls.
