The retailer also plans to extend its service to further Manhattan neighbourhoods by the end of the year.

“It’s no secret that grocery shopping in Manhattan is a challenge. With the high food prices, large crowds, long lines and limited retailer options, it’s a strain on shoppers’ wallets and patience,” said Andrew Parkinson, co-founder and president of Peapod. “With our low prices, thousands of weekly specials and convenient delivery options, we look forward to giving New Yorkers a smart way to save money and time.”

The move will pit it against FreshDirect, the online grocer which recently sold a stake to UK grocer Morrisons.
