"We are honored to be selected in such a competitive space," says Katie Hotze, founder and CEO. "Grocery Shopii is passionate about the opportunity to digitally disrupt meal kits and this level of support from the grocery industry is incredibly meaningful for us."

With 37,000 subscribers in North America, Progressive Grocer is the #1 media brand for the grocery industry.

With as few as 4% of grocery shoppers consistently going online to order their groceries each week, grocery store chains are looking for ways to energize online shopping experiences, build shopper loyalty, and gain a competitive advantage. Just this week, Walmart announced a partnership with Tasty App to deliver shoppable recipes throughout their U.S. stores. This digital recipe trend is growing, and what makes Grocery Shopii unique is its ability to quickly and simply bring B2B recipe-to-cart technology to any grocer's existing e-commerce platform.  The application allows shoppers to plan meals for the week, fill their cart, and schedule load or delivery in five minutes or less.
