Via a February 5 News Release:

goPuff, a digital convenience retailer, has expanded service in Minneapolis, offering its superfast deliveries in the Midway area from 12:00 p.m. to 4:30 a.m., seven days a week. goPuff, which launched in the state of Minnesota with the opening of its St. Paul facility in June 2018, also operates in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis.

goPuff stocks more than 2,500 products in centrally located facilities in Minneapolis (and each market in which it operates) to bring products directly to the customer in those moments they need them most. From snacktime favorites such as ice cream, candy and beverages to household essentials ranging from cleaning products, diapers, and even pet goods, the unique delivery concept answers the call for consumers in need day or night with solutions spanning more than eight categories.

“goPuff’s mission is to create more time in the day for our customer by consistently redefining the very meaning of convenience to provide a high-quality experience at an exceptional value,” said Yakir Gola, goPuff co-founder and co-CEO. “Every day, we work tirelessly to further this mission by bringing the exceptional goPuff experience to more customers across the country. Since launching in Minneapolis in 2019, goPuff has delivered thousands of orders to customers in the city and today we’re excited to expand our service and deliver the moments that matter most to even more customers in the area.”

In celebration of the launch, goPuff also announced  Minnesota customers’ most-ordered items in popular product categories:

  • Snacks: Gushers Flavor Mixer and Funyuns

  • Ice Cream: Ben & Jerry’s Half Baked and Ben & Jerry’s Milk & Cookies

  • Alcohol: White Claw Seltzer Variety Pack and Truly Hard Seltzer Berry Pack

  • Home Essentials: Scott Toilet Paper and Bounty Paper Towels

  • Frozen Food: Pepperoni Hot Pockets and Three Cheese Bagel Bites

Co-founded in 2013 by Rafael Ilishayev and Yakir Gola, two Drexel University undergraduates, goPuff began by delivering 50 basic products before pivoting the company to a full convenience store and alcohol delivery service in 2014. Today, the brand operates in more than 150 U.S. locations, including Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Seattle, Pittsburgh, Washington, D.C., and many more. goPuff, originally embraced by digital natives and Millennials who responded to the intuitive mobile app and entertaining social brand voice, has built a loyal following across demographics, catering to anyone who needs more convenience in their lives.   

All orders are accessible through the goPuff mobile app (iOS and Android) or goPuff.com. Users simply enter their address and scroll through a wide range of products across numerous categories including snacks, beverages, groceries, household goods, OTC, personal care, school supplies, pet supplies and more.
