Buymie (pronounced "buy me") is an Irish retail startup founded in 2016.[1][2] It allows users to buy groceries through its mobile app, and get them delivered from local stores through its personal shopper network. The current stores offered on Buymie are Dunnes Stores, Lidl and Tesco in Ireland as well as Asda, Co-op and Tesco in the UK.
History
Buymie was founded by Devan Hughes in 2016. Initially available only in Dublin, it expanded to surrounding commuter towns such as Greystones, Maynooth and Howth.[3][4]
In May 2020, it launched in the UK through a partnership with Co-op, servicing 200,000 households in Bristol and surrounding suburbs.[5][6]
Boosted by the COVID-19 pandemic, it expanded to Limerick and Galway in 2021.[7][8][9]
Locations
As of January 2022, Buymie services are offered in the Irish cities of Cork, Dublin, Galway and Limerick, and one UK city, Bristol.
