Vroom Delivery and Burnham Liquors Now Delivering in Chicago

CHICAGO, July 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- VroomDelivery.com launched its first store in the Chicago area this week with Burnham Liquors, bringing on-demand delivery of alcohol and other products to the Loop and proximity. While the store is Vroom Delivery's first in this market, it's a homecoming of sorts for president—and Chicago resident—John Nelson.

Expanding local stores' footprint
Vroom Delivery partners with Burnham Liquors to deliver alcohol and other products to homes downtown and in River North, West Loop, Gold Coast and Old Town. Unlike other home delivery services, Vroom Delivery is the only platform on the market focused on smaller, locally owned convenience stores and retailers. "We give them a way to compete with larger chains," Mr. Nelson says, "with a web presence, tools to understand and capture customer demand, and marketing support."

Vroom Delivery got its start in Cincinnati also partnering with convenience stores and small retailers. "Our platform helps local businesses largely limited, up until this point, to foot traffic. We're able to help independent operators grow and build more lasting relationships with customers while offering convenient on-demand delivery."

'Sweet home' Chicago
Mr. Nelson is thrilled to launch in Chicago. "Cincinnati, in our eyes, was an underserved market. We partnered with stores, local brands, and brewers to create awareness and demand for home delivery." Mr. Nelson notes that customers seek out such home delivery services as Peapod, Fresh Direct, and Amazon. "We wanted to iron out Vroom Delivery's business model in Cincinnati. Now we're excited to bring our success to Chicago."

Hundreds of choices, quick delivery
Through VroomDelivery.com's website and iOS app, customers can choose from hundreds of products—with delivery in under an hour. Located in Chicago's South Loop, the store has primarily served the neighborhood and passersby.

Burnham Liquors owner Chirag Patel says, "I'm really excited for the way Vroom Delivery will help me grow my business. I can deliver to customers beyond my traditional market. They can order what they need from me and easily get it, even if the weather is terrible. It's a win-win for everyone."

Burnham Liquors offers, among other local brews, beers from Chicago breweries Goose Island, Lagunitas, Two Brothers, and Revolution.

Early customer and Chicago resident Greg Robinson says, "Home delivery is convenient and saves me time. It's important to me to support local businesses, and I know I'm doing that with Vroom Delivery and Burnham."

Delivery is available in under an hour or can be scheduled up to 10 days in advance. Store employees make all deliveries. All payment is via credit card.
