"The addition of The Fresh Market marks another exciting opportunity for Shipt to emphasize our brand's dedication to offering a curated, quality selection of top-notch retail options to our members."

More than 170 of the grocer’s stores have been added to the Shipt Marketplace in California and Nevada.
