Gopuff is expanding its Crave Shoppe and Basically brands with its first [limited-time seasonal assortment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitededition-halloweeen-treats), including iced pumpkin cake, [pumpkin donut holes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipz-pumpkin-spice-donutflavored-covered-pretzels), mini apple fritters, bourbon salted caramel fudge, and apple cider. The lineup was informed by Gopuff’s ordering and search data, which showed sales of fall-flavored products increasing 19.4% year-over-year last fall. New products are available exclusively through its app with delivery in as fast as 15 minutes. For Gopuff, using first-party customer data to guide product development can reduce uncertainty around emerging flavor preferences while enabling faster responses to seasonal demand. The strategy can also strengthen its growing private-label business, which has increased 20% year-to-date in 2026. Exclusive, limited-time products may encourage repeat orders while differentiating Gopuff from traditional convenience and grocery retailers.
