e-Commerce Platform Launches at 140-year-old Minier’s Supermarket

Minier’s Supermarket, which has been serving Big Flats, N.Y., for more than 140 years, has launched Minier’s Express, an e-commerce service powered by Rosie.

“In the eight years I’ve been with Minier’s, this is by far the most innovative and exciting service we’ve offered,” said Paul Minier, president. “As the first store in our market to offer an e-commerce option, not only can we better serve our current customers, but this opens the door to the entire community.”

Customers log on via the web or mobile app and select all of the same products available in the store, including fresh meat, produce, dairy and frozen items. Trained shoppers then pick the orders in time for delivery or curbside pickup. Curbside pickup is available Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-7 p.m., or customers can have their orders delivered between 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. or 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Saturday delivery hours are between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. The curbside pickup fee is $3.99, and delivery fees start at $3.99. Sales and advertised discounts are also available online, but other product prices may vary from store prices.

“The fast, affordable Minier’s Express service is another way we help customers make their lives easier, whether they’re looking to save on time and hassle, or can’t travel,” added Minier.

Minier’s Supermarket is supplied by Olean Wholesale Grocery Cooperative, which has partnered with Ithaca, N.Y.-based Rosie to offer its independent clients the ability to launch an online shopping service.
