"Our customers are active consumers with busy lifestyles who look for ways to save time. Imagine grocery shopping while riding the subway to work, or adding milk to your grocery list from the soccer field," said Thomas Parkinson, Chief Technology Officer for Peapod.  "In a recent Peapod survey we learned that more than 63 percent of respondents sometimes or frequently forget to buy something they really need while grocery shopping.  With PeapodMobile customers can minimize that risk by adding items to their cart whenever and wherever they think of them."
