FOODPANDA Malaysia said it has tied up with convenience store chain 7-Eleven to operate a delivery service for areas the former operates in.
Claiming this would make 7-Eleven the first convenience store in Malaysia to offer a delivery, FoodPanda said the service would cover the Klang Valley, Subang, Cyberjaya and Putrajaya, Johor Baru and Penang.
Items currently on the menu include high-in demand snacks, beverages, confectionery and prepaid reload cards with more new items to be added in the near future, FoodPanda Malaysia said in a statement.
“We are happy to announce that we are the first and only convenience store in Malaysia to provide delivery services to selected areas in collaboration, with FoodPanda, as an ‘extra convenient’ option for consumers,” said Ronan Lee (pic above, right), general manager of marketing at 7-Eleven Malaysia.
“We think customers will appreciate the convenience that both FoodPanda and 7-Eleven will be providing with this tie-up,” says FoodPanda Malaysia managing director Claudio Abitante (pic above, left).
“We currently see an increase in demand for convenience store items, as we see customers requesting for snacks on top of food delivery orders,” he added.
To celebrate the collaboration, any orders via FoodPanda for 7-Eleven offerings will have no delivery fee for 11 days beginning Feb 7. There will also be RM10 rebate vouchers with no minimum purchase condition for new FoodPanda customers.
FoodPanda and its affiliated brand HelloFood recently raised an additional US$20 million of funding from a group of investors including Phenom Ventures.
