PHILADELPHIA, September 29, 2023 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - Lula Convenience, recognized for its ventures in the convenience retail e-commerce domain, has formalized a partnership with Core-Mark, a subsidiary of Performance Food Group (PFG). This collaboration aims to leverage Lula's e-commerce platform to integrate with Core-Mark's extensive distribution network, which encompasses approximately 50,000 locations in the U.S. and Canada.
Based in Philadelphia, Lula Convenience's platform consolidates multiple rapid delivery services, providing an all-in-one solution for retail stores. As per the provided information, this centralized approach aims to enhance both revenues and operational efficiency for participating outlets. "Our platform offers a solution that could potentially help locations see about a 30% increase in top-line revenue," said a representative from Lula Convenience.
