Making lives easier for Washington D.C. area residents, Ahold’s business Peapod and Giant Food announced a first-of-its-kind offering that allows shoppers to place their orders online and pick them up at one of three Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) stations: Fort Totten, Glenmont and Vienna.

As the leading online grocer in the U.S., Peapod is committed to offering value, convenience, and time-savings to customers. Peapod will monitor this pilot program closely for expansion opportunities in additional metropolitan markets.

To use the service, Metro riders can simply place and pay for their order through Peapod’s online service, with pick-up options between 4 and 7 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. With average transaction times estimated at no longer than five minutes, Peapod-equipped Metro stations will feature lockers where groceries are stored, and an on-site Peapod attendant to load groceries directly into customers’ cars.

For consumers on the go, Peapod’s Metro service is an ideal solution for all their grocery needs. In fact, at least 50% of all Peapod orders are placed on mobile devices, making public transportation the perfect place to multitask.

In addition to the three new Metro pick-up locations, Peapod by Giant also offers more than 50 pick-up locations across Washington, D.C., Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware.
