# On-Demand Grocery Deliveries Uber Grocery Supports the Growing Need for Grocery Delivery Services By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2020-07-09 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-grocery References: [specialtyfood](https://www.specialtyfood.com/news/article/uber-launches-grocery-delivery-cornershop/) & [ubereats](https://www.ubereats.com/) In partnership with [Cornershop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/post-covid), [Uber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/15minute-grocery-delivery) is introducing Uber Grocery across select cities in Latin America and Canada—as well as select United States cities later this month. This new [grocery delivery service](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tops-friendly-markets) gives Uber and Uber Eats app users the ability to place an order so that it can be fulfilled by a Cornershop team member. Just last year, headlines reported that online grocery shopping services have been slow to catch on but much has changed over the span of a few months. As Uber says, "Over the last six months, it’s become increasingly clear that grocery delivery is not only popular but often a necessity. We expect to see this trend continue as people across the world look for new ways to save time and stay safe."
