If you have been wanting to try out the Uber Eats’ grocery delivery service but haven’t been able to because of your location, we may have some good news for you. Uber has just expanded its on-demand and scheduled grocery delivery service to 400 cities and towns across the country. So, if you are in one of those cities, including “major markets” like San Francisco, New York City, and Washington D.C., you now have the chance to try out the service, according to their website.

The strategic move is Uber’s “first major grocery expansion in the U.S.” According to Uber, this growth has more than doubled the availability that was previously in place, and more areas will be added throughout the year — meaning a lot more people will have access. To speed up the rollout, Uber collaborated with Albertsons Companies, Inc. on a 1,200-store partnership. According to Fortune, Albertsons is the second largest supermarket chain in North America, after Kroger, and includes stores like Safeway, ACME, Tom Thumb, Southeastern Grocers, and New York’s Red Apple Group. This means, when using the Uber Eats’ grocery delivery service, you might even get to choose products you are already familiar with from stores you know and love.
