Aldi becomes first retailer on Uber Eats to accept SNAP-EBT nationwide

SAN FRANCISCO - Grocery chain Aldi has partnered with Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER), a prominent player in the ground transportation industry with a market capitalization of $204 billion, to offer its products through the Uber Eats delivery platform, the companies announced Thursday. According to InvestingPro data, Uber has demonstrated strong momentum with a 62% year-to-date return.

The collaboration brings more than 2,500 Aldi locations nationwide to the Uber Eats app, allowing customers to order groceries for on-demand or scheduled delivery. Notably, Aldi becomes the first retailer on Uber Eats to accept SNAP-EBT payments nationwide at launch. This expansion aligns with Uber’s robust revenue growth of 18% in the last twelve months, as reported by InvestingPro, which maintains a "GREAT" overall financial health rating for the company.

Customers can shop a curated selection of Aldi-exclusive products through the app, including organic produce, meats, gluten-free snacks, and wine and beer at select locations. The service also includes Aldi’s weekly special offerings.

"At Aldi, we continually strive to make shopping easier and more affordable for the communities we proudly serve," said Dave Rinaldo, Chief Operating Officer at Aldi USA, in a press release statement.

To promote the launch, Uber Eats is offering 40% off Aldi orders of $30 or more (up to $25) with the code ALDIUBER25 through December 31, 2025. Uber One members will receive free delivery on eligible orders.

The partnership expands Uber’s grocery delivery footprint, adding a retailer known for its value-focused approach. Hashim Amin, Head of Grocery & Retail, North America at Uber, emphasized the importance of the SNAP-EBT integration, noting it makes "grocery delivery even more accessible for more people."

Additionally, Uber Eats and Aldi will host pop-up sampling events in New York, Miami, and Chicago throughout October, where customers can try and order exclusive Aldi products before they reach store shelves.
