Glovo, a pioneering multi-category app, has announced the expansion of its partnership with SPAR Market, one of Nigeria’s leading retail operators.
Initially launched as a pilot program in November 2023, this partnership now extends to all 10 SPAR outlets in Lagos and Abuja, enhancing convenience and efficiency for urban consumers.
The initial rollout across five SPAR Market stores yielded outstanding results, prompting the extension to 10 store locations across Lagos and Abuja.
Through this partnership, SPAR Market and Glovo are enhancing the grocery and retail landscape by offering customers the flexibility to have their groceries and household items delivered quickly and efficiently to their doorstep.
This partnership supports SPAR Market’s goal of developing a seamless omnichannel experience, while Glovo strengthens its position in Nigeria’s growing e-commerce market by expanding its grocery and retail offerings.
“This expansion reflects our commitment to enhancing the Glovo experience for our users,” said Lamide Akinola, General Manager of Glovo Nigeria. “By partnering with SPAR Market, we are able to provide a broader range of products and ensure timely delivery, making everyday shopping easier and more convenient for our customers.”
Kolawole Adeniyi, Head of Commercial for Glovo Nigeria, added, “We are delighted with the positive impact our partnership with SPAR Market has had. Expanding to additional stores allows more people to enjoy quick and reliable grocery delivery.”
The expanded partnership now covers 10 SPAR Markets stores in key locations across Lagos (Mainland and Island) and Abuja, ensuring a wider accessibility for customers in these areas.
Mr. Prakash Keswani, Deputy Managing Director of SPAR Market Nigeria, expressed his excitement, “Our partnership with Glovo marks a significant milestone in providing an exceptional shopping experience. By leveraging Glovo’s ecosystem we ensure our customers receive their essential items quickly and efficiently.”
Gaurav Panchal, SPAR Market Project Manager for Glovo, added, “The success of our initial pilot has demonstrated the strong demand for reliable and speedy delivery services. We are excited to expand this partnership and bring the benefits of Glovo’s platform to even more SPAR Market’s customers across Nigeria.”
Looking ahead, SPAR Market is committed to extending Glovo’s services to every new store within Glovo’s coverage areas. This vision underscores both companies’ dedication to providing seamless, high-quality service to consumers across Nigeria.
