Starbucks is partnering with Grubhub for delivery in select markets in Pennsylvania, Colorado and Illinois, with national availability anticipated in all 50 states by August 2024.

"Customer demand to get Starbucks delivered continues to increase, as evidenced by double-digit growth in the U.S. delivery business this past quarter, indicating that our customers continue to want convenience in their everyday lives," Meg Mathes, vice president of digital experiences at Starbucks, said in a company press release. "Our new partnership with Grubhub will help fuel this growth by increasing availability of Starbucks products to Grubhub's tens of millions of customers, via a leading delivery provider."

Starbucks Delivery will be accessible through the Grubhub mobile app, available on iOS and Android devices, in addition to Grubhub.com, where customers may track their orders from preparation to drop off.

"By joining forces with a beloved national brand like Starbucks, we're offering customers more of what they want on Grubhub while strengthening our enterprise offering and growing our merchant supply in markets nationwide," Liz Bosone, vice president of enterprise partnerships at Grubhub, said in the release. "We're proud to offer national and independent restaurants on our platform — a complementary duo — to give customers more choices and build loyalty."

Grubhub+, Grubhub's $9.99 monthly membership program, provides customers ordering from Starbucks on Grubhub with $0 delivery fees on eligible orders, lower service fees and exclusive offers. Standard delivery and service fees apply for all other customers, according to the release.

Starbucks Coffee Company has over 38,000 stores worldwide.
