Ask any Parkite, we’re lucky to live in a place that offers a unique blend of outdoor adventure, world-class events, and small-town charm. There are times, however, when our small town doesn’t feel so small – think Sundance, Kimball Arts Festival, and other high-tourist times. Whether you’re a local resident, a seasonal Parkite, or a first-time visitor, having access to convenient grocery delivery can be a game-changer when Park City is hoppin’.
Thankfully in Park City, we have everything from national giants to local mom-and-pop operations ready and willing to deliver carefully selected groceries right to your doorstep. Here’s a rundown of the best grocery delivery services available in Park City and what they each have to offer.
Local Grocery Store Delivery Services
Locally-owned grocery delivery services in Park City, provide personalized and convenient shopping experiences, and many offer fresh, locally-sourced products. These businesses cater to residents and visitors alike, emphasizing quality, sustainability, and community support. The number of local services has ballooned since the early days of grocery delivery and we love seeing so many local businesses doing well and providing top-tier services to Park City residents and visitors, alike.
In terms of cost, many of these services charge a flat delivery fee plus a 20% – 30% service fee calculated on the total cost of your grocery order. Some forgo the delivery fee and instead charge an hourly rate for shopping and delivery. (For specific rates and policies, please visit their websites for up-to-date information.)
Here are some local favorites:
- Stacey’s Grocery Services
- The Grocery Girls
- Guardian Angel
- Park City Grocery Express
- Black Diamon Grocery Delivery
- All Seasons Grocery
Smith’s Delivery
The local Smith’s grocery chain offers first-party delivery through its website and mobile app. On their site and in the app, you’re able to shop their full inventory just like you were in the store itself. Delivery fees are as low as $9.95 – plus, your first delivery is free!
And for Park City residents who already know and love Smith’s stores, this can be a very convenient choice. You’ll get the same high-quality grocery items and branded products you know and love – without having to leave the house.
National Online Grocery Delivery Services
National grocery delivery services in Park City, Utah, provide a wide range of products with the convenience of online shopping and home delivery. These services, such as Instacart and Amazon Fresh, offer competitive prices, fast delivery times, and the ability to shop from multiple major retailers, making online grocery shopping in Park City efficient and accessible.
Amazon Fresh & Whole Foods
If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you’ve got access to free grocery delivery through Amazon Fresh on any order over $35 (or $9.95 for orders under $35). The selection is huge, with amazing breadth and depth of items sourced from Whole Foods, top national brands, and Amazon’s own product lines. You can get everything from fresh produce to household goods to vitamins all in one order. As a Prime member, you can also shop exclusively at Whole Foods via Amazon.
However, the tradeoff is that Amazon lacks some of the specialty, locally sourced items you might find in Park City grocery stores. Still, the ability to bundle your grocery shopping with anything else Amazon offers can be hugely convenient.
Instacart
Along with Amazon’s offering, Instacart is probably the best-known third-party grocery delivery player. They let you shop from multiple retailers like Smith’s, Lowe’s Foods, CVS, Petco, and more, all through their website or mobile app. One advantage is that you can get deliveries extremely quickly – some as soon as an hour after placing your order if hiring an “Instacart Shopper” directly. Delivery fees start at $3.99 for orders over $35. However, one downside of using Instacart is that they charge markups on grocery items compared to shopping in the store yourself, meaning the convenience often comes with higher overall pricing.
Walmart Delivery
For those looking for the most affordable grocery delivery, it’s hard to beat Walmart’s offering. The retail giant charges just a $7.95 delivery fee for orders under $35, or $9.95 for orders over $35 – regardless of your total grocery bill’s size. You won’t find the same depth of specialty items as local grocers, but Walmart excels at offering low prices on pantry staples, household essentials, and name brands. It can also be a great choice for stocking up on bulk items. And with 2-hour and 4-hour delivery windows available, it’s very convenient.
No matter which service you choose, it’s hard to beat the convenience of getting your groceries delivered straight to your door. For shoppers who prioritize great prices, selection, and fast shipping on nationally available products, services like Amazon Fresh and Walmart are excellent choices. If you prefer to support local businesses or want a truly personalized experience with expert shoppers hand-picking your items, local services like Park City Grocery Express, The Grocery Girls, and Stacey’s Grocery Services are the way to go.
And for Park City residents who already have their favorite grocer, the delivery offerings from local stores like Smith’s may be ideal. With first-party shopping from the same physical inventory, you’ll get your usual branded items and store loyalty discounts.
So, whether you prefer the reliability of national chains like Amazon Fresh, the convenience of apps like Instacart, or the personalized touch of local services, there’s something for everyone. For those in need of a quick meal or a well-stocked pantry, Park City’s grocery delivery services have you covered.
