Amazon continues to expand its grocery delivery services through a new partnership with California chain FoodMaxx, expansions of its partnerships with Save Mart and Lucky Supermarkets, and a new deal with startup Jüsto in Mexico to make grocery delivery available in that country.

Amazon Adds Grocery Delivery South of the Border

Amazon customers in Mexico will soon be able to purchase everything from fresh produce to meat and fish online through a new partnership with grocery delivery platform Jüsto, multiple sources report. Orders will be placed on Amazon.com and delivery will be handled by Jüsto, a startup founded in 2019.

Jüsto is going to be Amazon’s produce and grocery proposal in Mexico,” said Ricardo Weder, Founder and CEO of Jüsto in an interview with Bloomberg. “It’s one of the few times where Amazon has left all of the client’s experience to a third party, so we’re very excited.”

Weder added that just 3% of the population in Mexico currently buys groceries online, so “the growth opportunity is immense.”
