Hannaford Supermarkets teams with Home Chef to Offer Meal Kits to-Go

 

Scarborough, ME, April 2, 2018 - The now-booming meal kit industry has been a great time saver for busy families who are also great planners, but the online order and delivery model isn’t a one size fits all. For people looking for an easy solution for tonight’s dinner, today, Hannaford Supermarkets and Home Chef, the largest private meal kit company, are happy to announce a first-in-market partnership. Customers can order and pick up Home Chef meals at Hannaford To Go locations on the same day.

 

The meals combine Home Chef’s easy recipes and pre-portioned ingredients with fresh steak, chicken or seafood from Hannaford.  The meals are available through Hannaford To Go, a service that allows shoppers to select their groceries online and pick up their orders at their local Hannaford store on the same day.

 

This unique partnership provides a new, even more convenient way to enjoy meal kits.  Each week, Hannaford customers will be able to choose from three different Home Chef recipes, which can be cooked in about 30 minutes and are sure to delight everyone around the table. Each meal kit serves two people and is available for $17.99. On the menu for the week of April 10-16, customers can choose:

Chicken Scampi with Ciabatta Croutons
Sesame Beef with Green Beans
Brown Sugar Salmon

 

"With Home Chef, Hannaford is now offering customers wonderful, new meal choices that make it easy and fun to cook dinner with fresh ingredients," said Eric Blom, Hannaford spokesman. "These meal kits are a great fit for Hannaford To Go shoppers, who have busy schedules and appreciate saving time."

Hannaford To Go is available at 41 supermarkets in Maine, New Hampshire, New York Vermont and Massachusetts.
This move comes on the heels of Home Chef’s record customer growth in 2017 and will allow even more customers to experience the convenience, ease and menu variety that has earned the company the highest rate of customer satisfaction among leading meal kit companies.

“Home Chef prides itself on its approachable meal offerings -- meals anyone can cook and everyone will love and we’re happy to be able to make our meals available to more customers through this unique partnership with Hannaford,” said Rich DeNardis, Home Chef’s Chief Revenue Officer. “We see collaborations like this as the future of the meal kit industry and a key part of breaking down the barriers to trying a meal kit.”
