Bolt Market, the grocery delivery service powered by the Bolt mobility platform, has seen a 300 per cent increase in orders made since its debut in December 2024.
This was primarily due to locals in Kenya demanding fast, cheap, and reliable delivery of their groceries.
Patients with average delivery times of just above 15 minutes have good reason to use Bolt Market as their choice of service. This, in turn, makes Bolt Market one of the fastest grocery picking and delivery services in Kenya.
What keeps the platform at the top of the heap is its all-inclusive offering, which currently stands at over 3,500 products. This ranges from fresh produce to household essentials and pantry staples and is all available through the newly formed partnerships with large retailers and local stores.
Fully outfitted with goods logistics and a large courier fleet, Bolt is taking the crazy step of blending grocery delivery and their customers’ weekly routine (seamless).
Edgar Kitur, General Manager of Bolt Food, stated, “The skyrocketing growth of Bolt Market is a clear signal that we are meeting our users’ demands for cheaper and more convenient solutions.
We want by the end of 2025 to be present not only in selected cities but also in their neighbourhoods.” The strategy of Bolt Market is to promote the idea of connecting households all over the country with the less common streets as well as the more familiar chains.
Such a move is a win for the Kenyan retail community and is an indirect but powerful way of supporting the company’s sustainability mission.
