GLOVO CONTINUES ON EXPANSION PLAN IN EAST AFRICA
By Mary Kibe
Glovo, the on-demand delivery company,
announced its operations will extend to the
towns of Eldoret and Kisumu this month. This
move is part of Glovo’s strategic expansion in
Kenya, with the company intending to have a
presence in all major towns in the country.
In November, residents in Kisumu and Eldoret
will be able to enjoy free delivery for top
partners KFC, Java and Naivas as part of
Glovo’s launch campaign in these markets. The
expansion in Kenya follows Glovo’s launch in
Uganda in October. Following operations in
Kampala, the delivery platform has now
expanded its footprint across Africa, with
Uganda the second country in East Africa and
the fifth country in Africa for the firm.
Priscilla Muhiu, the General Manager for Glovo
Kenya, said: “We are very excited about the
launches in Eldoret and Kisumu, which
represents a key part of plan, to bring our world-
class delivery service to as many potential
users as possible.”
The expansion in Eldoret and Kisumu shows
Glovo’s intent to link its customers to an ever-
expanding portfolio of outlets.
Glovo has partnered with Carrefour
Supermarkets in a month-long campaign
dubbed Black Friday to offer their customers
heavily discounted offers over the weekends in
November, in a move targeted at extending its
services to Carrefour customers and also new
clientele.
Glovo is an on-demand delivery platform that
allows you to buy, collect, and send any product
or item within your city. Born in Barcelona, the
company operates in over 650 cities in 23 countries across
EEMEA, LATAM, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Glovo has more than
2.5 million monthly active users, 50,000 active couriers,
