Getir Goes Bananas for Its 1-Year Anniversary
Getir, the pioneer of ultrafast grocery delivery, is celebrating one year of launching in the United States in Chicago, New York and Boston. Through its revolutionary last-mile grocery delivery service, the Getir app has been opened in the United States more than 40 million times, saving users over 700,000 hours.
To celebrate, bananas, the most popular selling product on the U.S. app, are available for nine cents. According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average cost of bananas is $0.64 per pound, approximately $0.21 each.
“We are excited to be celebrating our one year anniversary in the United States. We are proud of this accomplishment and all of our teams who have made this first year in the United States successful,” said Langston Dugger, Head of U.S. Operations. “American customers enjoy the convenience and reliability of our service and variety of our products.”
