Hungry for a snack and need some laundry detergent? Out of cat food and your iPhone charger just stopped working? No need to leave the house now that goPuff has launched in State College.
The on-demand convenience store delivery service began operating in the area on Wednesday, offering delivery of more than 3,000 products by using goPuff’s website or app for Android and iOS. Launched in 2013 by two Drexel University students, the State College market is the service’s 13th U.S. market and first venture outside of a major metropolitan.
goPuff has local warehouses stocked with inventory in each of its markets. It delivers products in 20 categories ranging from snacks and drinks to pet supplies to household items and electronics. The service charges a flat deliver fee of $1.95, which is waived for orders over $49. It promises delivery in 30 minutes or less.
To celebrate the launch, goPuff is giving a free pint of Ben & Jerry’s Half-Baked or Tonight Dough ice cream for every order for the first month of service.
In a press release, the company said Snoop Dogg and Philadelphia 76ers players are among goPuff’s customers and that it is particularly popular among college students.
goPuff operates from noon to 4:20 a.m. daily.
