InABuggy announces: new name to "Buggy", new leadership, capital and the opening of their own rapid grocery delivery service
Summary
Originally founded by the late Julian Gleizer, who wanted a solution to get his ailing father Club Soda with the press of a button, the company has been Canadas leading grocery delivery service since 2015. "Buggy raises the bar for Canadians who are seeking an affordable, convenient, and high quality grocery and more delivery experience. Powered by technology and led by a visionary CEO and team of experts, the decision to invest was a no-brainer," said Alessia Vettese, Buggy Board member. Verkindt brings 15 years of experience as an entrepreneur, including founding supply chain technology business OMX, and as a prolific early stage technology investor, including stints investing in startups as a Dragon on CBCs Next Gen Dragons Den and Gimlet medias "The Pitch". "By opening our own Buggy Stores, we are able to reduce the cost of groceries and more by up to 25% from other delivery options, we have live inventory from the warehouse to the app, so we will never substitute a product, and we can deliver it in 15 minutes, depending on where the order is coming from."
