Bolt Market offers a selection of over 1,500 carefully curated products, from fresh produce to household essentials. The store teams have no interruptions and handle products with care, making sure customers get the quality they would choose on their while saving their time.”
The service will operate within a 10 km radius from its Bolt Market store in Kilimani. To celebrate this, Bolt Market will offer free delivery to up to 3KM and up to 80% discount. Integrated seamlessly into the Bolt Food app, Bolt Market customers can access over 2,000 carefully curated products in the stores, from fresh produce from local providers to household essentials and beverages.
To order groceries from the service, customers can download the Bolt Food app, where they will be able to see the selection of products offered in the store. Before confirming the order, the app shows the price and estimated delivery time of the order. In order to pay for the order, the customer has to enter their bank card details into the app.
