West Coast satellite of fast-growing platform opening this summer to focus on engineering and product development
BOSTON, May 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Drizly, the first and largest alcohol e-commerce marketplace, today announced plans to open a satellite office in San Francisco this summer, which will serve as a second headquarters focusing on engineering and product development. The fast-growing company will continue to maintain its primary headquarters in Boston, where it was founded, while continuing to operate a sales office in New York City.
The Drizly platform, available in 95 cities across the U.S, and Canada via Drizly.com and apps (App Store and Google Play), provides visibility into inventories from multiple local retailers at once, giving adult beverage shoppers access to a wide selection of products and transparent price comparisons. Orders can be delivered by local partner retailers within one hour or at a conveniently scheduled time, or packaged for easy in-store pickup.
"Drizly was built on giving adult beverage shoppers the best buying experience by enabling them to compare prices and inventory from multiple retailers at once. Our expansion to talent-rich San Francisco deepens our commitment to innovating in the products, data and insights that will keep evolving our platform, and our industry, to everyone's benefit," said Nick Rellas, Drizly's co-founder and CEO.
The company anticipates a rapid ramp-up to approximately 20 new team members in San Francisco within a year of opening. The new office's location and other details will follow soon.
