Premier Curbside Drive-Thru Grocer JackBe Opens Second Location
JackBe, the premier curbside drive-thru grocer, has announced the grand opening of its second location, the second of three locations slated to open in 2023 for the new-to-market grocer. The new location has a 22,000-square-foot store and serves as the new corporate headquarters, with more than 42,000 square feet in total, including a test kitchen and other amenities. Oklahoma City’s newest grocery store opens on May 3 at 2121 W Danforth in Edmond, OK.
“We are thrilled to be opening our second location and to expand our mission to introduce a new way to shop, providing high-quality products with fast grocery service, which equates to the ultimate convenience for our customers,” said Alex Ruhter, JackBe CEO. “Every industry is subject to disruption and grocery is no different. After researching the market, we knew that the traditional business model of in-store shopping didn’t fit with convenience-minded, tech-savvy shoppers. What we offer, an app-driven, curbside drive-up grocery model, is resonating.”
JackBe opened the country’s first curbside drive-thru grocery in January 2023. The store is proving people are looking for good e-grocery options. In the first few months of operation, more than 50 percent of the people who tried JackBe returned to order more groceries, bucking a trend in the industry. JackBe is building stores around solving traditional grocery drawbacks: limited availability, dictated pickup time slots, lack of quality products and substituting out-of-stock items.
Instead, JackBe offers customers a new, unique approach with products and services they appreciate, including:
- Simple shopping experience using the JackBe app
- Place an order anytime, anywhere and pick it up convenient for the customer
- The only grocer that guarantees no substitutions 100 percent of the time.
- Every item is handpicked
- Exceptional produce with an emphasis on freshness and food safety
- No membership fees
- Efficient store footprint focused on convenience and pickup, not delivery
- Delivers value with reduced costs of operations
- Grocery orders ready for pick up whenever you need them, giving back much-needed time to a customer’s day.
- No minimum order required
In just minutes, customers can place an order on the JackBe app and, when ready, pull into one of the drive-thru bays, where a JackBe team member delivers groceries to their car. With the ability to serve up to 200 orders per hour, the 22,000 square feet location carries the most frequently purchased products from all the categories customers need to restock the home.
In the community, JackBe is working with organizations, such as The Comeback Kid Society, to help bring about assistance where needed.
JackBe’s first location is located at 18001 North May Avenue, Edmond, OK 73013. The second store is at 2121 W Danforth in Edmond, both are open seven days a week 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. A third location is slated to open in Q4 2023 in Mustang, OK.
