"At Save A Lot, we're committed to keeping prices low and making sure our customers have access to the essentials, especially as inflation continues to affect household budgets," said Bill Mayo. "Our partnership with Fabric and expansion into micro-fulfillment will streamline operations and allow us to offer accessibility to consumers wherever they are at competitive prices."
Save A Lot's new facility is almost entirely automated with tech from robotic fulfillment company Fabric. When an order comes in through UberEats, robots grab bins full of food and hand them off to other robots on the ground.
The system can put together a 50-item grocery order in as little as six minutes, according to Fabric, and orders could be delivered to the consumer's door in half an hour.
The speed and low cost of automation means it's faster and cheaper than shopping at a traditional grocery store. Grocery store costs have increased roughly 25% across the country since 2020.
