Lula Commerce

Steven Siegel will be at Outlook Leadership by Informa next month and is looking forward to connecting with retail leaders! Most of the retailers we’ve talked to in the last few months are currently figuring out how to scale digital revenue while protecting their margins and reducing additional work for their store teams.

If you’re reviewing your technology roadmap or looking for ways to run your digital channels more efficiently, Steve would love to meet between sessions.

Lula Commerce was proud to sponsor Chestnut Market’s 14th Annual Charity Fishing Tournament on the Long Island Sound last week! 🎣

Our co-founders, Adit Gupta and Tom Falzani, joined the Chestnut Market team and supplier partners on the water to support the life-saving mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Thank you to the entire team at Chestnut Market for putting together a fantastic event! 🐿️

InConvenience Inc is bringing both third-party delivery and direct online ordering to its G Spot network! 🎉

The Chicago-based, women-led convenience retailer is partnering with Lula Commerce to power digital ordering across locations in Iowa, Missouri, and Arkansas. Customers will be able to order through DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub, or directly from a branded Goods Spot storefront on the web and in a mobile app.

Here is what that means for the InConvenience team:

✅ One dashboard to manage menus, pricing, and inventory
✅ A direct digital channel that builds customer relationships
✅ No new operational complexity or back-of-house lift for store teams
✅ A consistent digital ordering experience across every Goods Spot location

Excited to support the InConvenience team as they scale a modern, customer-first convenience experience across the Midwest! Read the full announcement on our website.

Foodservice is one of the biggest growth opportunities in convenience retail right now. Steve Siegel will be representing Lula Commerce at the CSP Foodservice Forum next week in Schaumburg, Illinois. The event brings together convenience foodservice leaders to work through what is driving prepared food programs, from menu strategy to the operations behind them.

As more retailers build out prepared food, getting those menus online and ordering-ready across both delivery marketplaces and first-party storefronts is where a lot of the revenue opportunity sits. We always enjoy talking to operators who are thinking seriously about foodservice and digital ordering together.

If you are going to be at the forum and want to talk through digital ordering for your foodservice program, comment below!

We are honored to share that Lula Commerce has been named Technology Startup of the Year at the 34th Annual PACT Ecosystem Awards. 🎉

The Philadelphia Alliance for Capital and Technologies (PACT), recognized this year's winners on May 19 for the work they are doing to advance technology and innovation across the Greater Philadelphia region.

Lula started by going store to store in Philadelphia, helping local convenience retailers get online for the first time. Today we support more than 2,000 retail locations across 44 states, and the goal is still the same. We want independent and regional operators to have the same digital tools the largest chains have, without the cost or the complexity.

Thank you to PACT for the recognition, to our team for the work behind it, and most of all to the retailers who trust us to help grow their business online.
