A day after Uber announced that it acquired Postmates for $2.65 billion, it introduced grocery delivery in 19 Canadian and Latin American cities, including those in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Peru. The project is also a result of the recently announced purchase of Cornershop in late 2019, which is still pending regulatory approval. Cornershop introduced grocery delivery to Latin America before bringing it to Toronto. The service will expand to the US later this month, specifically in Dallas and Miami, and then to more cities around the world in "the coming months."

It is the right time to launch a service like this, with COVID-19 affecting people's mobility and desire to leave the house with the pandemic for something as essential as grocery shopping. Uber says demand for grocery delivery has increased 197% since March.
