Fizz and Gopuff have announced a partnership that will offer expanded access to snacks and refreshments for students as we head into the fall. The partnership will see the Fizz Gen Z social media platform launching the Fizz Store powered by Gopuff that will help students to order food and additional essentials without having to leave the app. The virtual store offers curated collections that will make browsing even easier including Study Fuel, Gym and Rush Bag, which are perfect for quickly finding items to purchase for fast delivery.
