Delivery Firm Glovo Expands to Mombasa

Delivery firm Glovo has officially launched its service in Mombasa after it raised KSh 17 billion to partly go towards growing its African footprint and expanding its delivery portfolio.

Glovo, which already has existing and operational partnerships with outlets such as Chicken Inn, Java House, and Naivas supermarkets, will enable Mombasa residents to access on-demand deliveries on categories such as food, groceries, drinks and courier services.

Other towns in Kenya within which Glovo is already operational are Nairobi, Kitengela and Nakuru.

The firm has so far partnered with over 150 brands and franchises like retailer Carrefour, and Naivas, Simbisa Africa and restaurant chain Artcaffe to deliver orders to customers.

Glovo is a Spanish start-up on-demand courier service that purchases, picks up, and delivers products ordered through its mobile app. In Africa, the firm operates in Kenya, Morocco, Egypt and Ivory Coast with plans to expand to Ghana, Nigeria, and Tanzania
