Uber Eats Adds Wegmans, Gopuff and Family Dollar to SNAP-Eligible Retailer List
Bringing the roster of partner retailers that accept SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) EBT payments to more than 50, Uber Eats has added Wegmans, Gopuff and Family Dollar. Uber Eats has added a SNAP icon in its app to highlight the growing selection of retailers that accept EBT payments, and is offering $0 delivery fees to EBT cardholders for their first three SNAP-eligible orders.
Payments to Uber Eats’ SNAP-eligible U.S. retailers are managed by Forage. “This expansion gives SNAP recipients access to tens of thousands of new stores — from national chains to local grocers — all through the Uber Eats app,” said Ofek Lavian, Co-founder and CEO of Forage in a statement.
“We believe that everyone deserves the convenience of delivery, and with this growing list of merchant partners we can continue to provide access to the fresh food that families and individuals need, especially those without access to reliable transportation for whom food delivery can be a lifeline,” said Hashim Amin, Head of Grocery and Retail Delivery at Uber North America in a statement

Listen Now: From Red Carpet to Cart — Crafting Digital Experiences That Convert
Makeup artist Patrick Ta is a master of beauty, but mastering retail requires a whole different set of brushes. As an online influencer himself, it’s no surprise that Ta’s beauty brand has leaned into creator partnerships and education, with pretty impressive results.
“Consumers today are a lot more informed and more intentional — they definitely do their research,” said Heidi Lim, VP of Ecommerce at Patrick Ta Beauty in this week’s episode of the Retail Remix podcast. “They’re reading reviews and they’re also seeking out brands that align with their values, so the expectations are much, much higher. And that’s a good thing. People want to feel connected to the brands that they support, so the value is beyond just a product. You don’t want just a pretty site anymore. You have to understand what matters most to your customer and meet them there.”
Lim details how Patrick Ta Beauty is doing just that by:
- Turning product education into a powerful driver of conversion and trust;
- Implementing a diversified channel mix — DTC, Sephora, TikTok Shop — to build both reach and resilience;
- Keeping creator partnerships aligned with the brand story;
- Nurturing the brand’s community of beauty lovers; and
- Leveraging data insights to drive merchandising and marketing efforts.
