Wesco Ordering Page with SNAP items highlighted
Wesco is the first convenience retailer in Michigan to offer SNAP benefits online, and joins a growing list of retailers offering the service on Vroom Delivery
MUSKEGON, MICHIGAN, USA, March 21, 2022 /EINPresswire.com / -- Wesco Inc has launched
online SNAP (food stamps) payments at all of its 55 convenience stores across Western Michigan for on-demand home delivery and curbside pickup. In many towns it operates in, Wesco is the only retailer offering online ordering and home delivery to SNAP beneficiaries. Customers may also purchase SNAP ineligible items using traditional payment methods in the same order, as they would be able to do in-store.
Wesco joins a growing list of retailers in other regions of the US on the Vroom Delivery platform who are offering this important new service to their customers. The service is now live in four states, with over a dozen additional retailers expected to do launch the offering in the coming months. In many locations, these retailers are some of the first businesses in the entire state to offer online EBT payments. In Michigan, for example, Wesco will be only the seventh retailer to do so, with the rest being large national grocery brands such as Walmart and Aldi. When 7-Eleven Hawaii announced their program earlier this year, they were only the third to do so in the entire State of Hawaii.
“We have received tremendous support from our customers on our implementation of online ordering. It has been a well-liked and very successful addition to increasing customer convenience. It is a move to the future of convenience retailing, and we want to lead the way” said Wesco Co-President, Nancy Westgate-Sytsema.“Wesco also prides itself on focusing on the customer and listening to their input. We have gathered responses from our survey and social media comments, and one common thread is offering EBT/SNAP as a payment option with our online ordering platform. We are very excited to work with the USDA and Vroom to make this a reality.”
Vroom Delivery recently optimized its menu layout for retailers offering online EBT to make it easy for consumers to see at a quick glance which menu items are eligible.“We are very excited to launch this program in partnership with Wesco” said John Nelson, CEO of Vroom Delivery.“Wesco already provides such a unique and valuable delivery service to consumers in many underserved locations, and adding EBT to their offering will just make Wesco's service that much more valuable to their customers.”
