Tom Thumb Adds Grocery Delivery in Dallas-Fort Worth

Albertsons Companies Inc. has added a grocery delivery program for its Tom Thumb stores in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, allowing for deliveries to be scheduled within one-hour windows.

The new service, which allows for orders online or via a dedicated mobile app, is supported by state-of-the-art delivery trucks equipped with multiple temperature zones to keep frozen items frozen and vegetables crisp.

To celebrate the launch, shoppers making their first order will receive $10 off their purchase, as well as no delivery charge.
