As of March 13th, residents and visitors in Gravenhurst can order delivery from their favourite restaurants along with everyday essentials, groceries, alcohol, pet supplies, and more on Uber Eats. Uber Eats is now available in over 300 cities across the country, expanding rapidly as more Canadians embrace the convenience of delivery. As part of today’s expansion, Uber Eats is expanding to Renfrew, Fort Frances, Gravenhurst, Arnprior, Hanover, Goderich, Ingersoll, Listowel, Wallaceburg, Dryden, Aylmer, Braeside, Appleton, and L’Original.
As cities and towns across Canada grapple with challenging macroeconomic trends, Uber Eats offers local restaurants a new way to connect with hungry customers and local delivery people to make delivery fast and easy. Our expansion into Gravenhurst also means that we’re creating flexible earning opportunities for people from all walks of life who choose to deliver on the platform.
Get almost anything from your local favourites to popular national brands all available at the click of a button on your phone on Uber Eats. To celebrate, we’re also running a special offer of $0 Delivery Fees in Gravenhurst on all eligible merchants for a limited time only.
Over the last few years, Uber Eats has grown rapidly. Our gross bookings have increased 6x in Canada from Q2 2019 to Q2 2023. Uber Eats is already the leading delivery platform in Canada with our business being 2x the size of the largest competitor in Canada and almost 3x the size of the third largest competitor. As the delivery platform of choice for Canadian consumers and merchants, we’re proud to partner exclusively with hundreds of restaurants across the country and look forward to our exclusive launch with Domino’s in the coming months.
In case it’s helpful for your story, I’m also sharing our latest consumer ordering and delivery trends, highlighting the growing popularity of the app and our new delivery verticals:
