Shop Online for Groceries Day

Shop Online for Groceries Day first began in 2014. It was created to highlight the growing trend of buying food and essentials through websites or apps.
No single company or person is known to have started it. Still, the idea quickly caught on with shoppers looking for easier ways to fill their pantries.
Online grocery shopping didn’t start overnight. In 1994, Pizza Hut became the first to accept a food order over the internet. Just two years later, Webvan launched as one of the earliest full grocery services online.
Though it failed by 2001, the idea didn’t disappear. In the early 2000s, new platforms like Ocado found better ways to deliver fresh food through digital orders.
Over time, other retailers and delivery apps joined in and helped shape today’s market.
This celebration reminds people how much everyday life has changed. It puts focus on comfort, speed, and access to food from anywhere. Grocery trips no longer require traffic or long lines.
