“We are thrilled and honored that so many of our customers and
associates voted for Albertsons to win this Webby award which is

Pavlovich, Senior Vice President of Digital Shopping Experience at
Albertsons Cos. “At Albertsons Cos., we place the customer at the
center of everything we do, and this is especially important as we
continue to develop our digital shopping experience. Thank you to
our Digital Team for their hard work and dedication to transforming
Albertsons Cos. from a traditional grocery retailer into a

visitors each month and boasts a 4.8 rating in the app store1.
Recently, Albertsons Cos. has introduced a variety of digital
features to make grocery shopping even easier including:

to provide customers with culinary inspiration throughout the week
while saving time and money, the meal plan feature includes a
budget tracker, an expanded library of more than 9,000 exclusive
recipes, shoppable ingredient lists and hands-free cooking mode
with step-by-step timer. The tool also boasts an artificial
intelligence-powered “Scan Your Own Recipe” feature that allows
customers to snap a photo with their phone of grandma’s
handwritten, not-so-secret recipe, for instance, and transforms it
into a digital version saved in the app2. Recipes are instantly
turned into shoppable ingredients and added to cart for quick,
convenient checkout.
- Flash 30-Minute Grocery Pickup and Delivery:
Flash™ pickup and delivery allows customers to receive their
DriveUp & Go™ and delivery orders in as little as 30 minutes3.
Available at over 2,000 Albertsons Cos. locations through its
websites and mobile apps, shoppers can select up to 35 of their
favorite items for Flash pickup or delivery4.
- Simplified for U Loyalty Program: The
award-winning for U™ loyalty program is now even better for
the retailer’s 38 million5 loyalty members with a single
points-based system, double the time to earn points and a new
automatic cash off option for more convenient savings, among other
benefits. The program retains all the benefits customers love with
exciting enhancements to celebrate their loyalty and create
customers for life.
“The Albertsons Cos. digital team has been diligently focused on
enhancing our mobile app to connect and transform online and
in-store shopping,” said Jatin Pahuja, Group Vice President, App,
Site and UX at Albertsons Cos. “Omnichannel shoppers expect
personalized service regardless of how they shop. Our mapping of
key customer moments across their shopping journey acts as the
north star in our digital experience transformation. Winning the
