    The Express Aisle is Now Open For Business

    One of the biggest issues usually cited for keeping people from moving to Downtown is the lack of grocery stores. Add to that, people don’t like to go grocery shopping in general. We have had quite a few conversations about grocery stores and personal shoppers on Columbus Underground. A new business venture hopes to help fill that void while saving you time and money.

    The Express Aisle is an online grocery delivery service that opened for business yesterday. They are based in Italian Village and will deliver your groceries the next day to anywhere in Central Ohio. Or you can schedule your deliveries to fit your schedule.

    Owner Stephanie Wilt decided to launch her new business “because there are many different markets that have a need for this type of service.”  Some of these markets include: “Working families that have a lot of commitments that require a lot of time.” Or “young professionals downtown who want a personal service out of convenience.” Her business will also help people that have “health restrictions and are unable to shop” and those who plan to “use the service to have groceries delivered to their aging parents.”

    Stephanie recently moved to the Short North herself after she found she was “spending the majority of [her] evenings and weekends downtown and in the Short North.” With her business, her goal is “to have a business that will benefit those who need it, and please those who just want it.” She says, “it really is a benefit to many people, including those who do not like to shop.”

    More information from the website:

    Our prices are comparative to local market pricing and your personal shopper will hand select your items to guarantee freshness and quality. We also accept manufacturer’s coupons. Our goal is to save the customer money by reducing travel expenses, eliminating impulse shopping and save you time by standing in lines and shopping the busy aisles for you. Our delivery fee is $17.95 per delivery.

    In honor of our grand opening, we are offering all our customers $5.00 off their order. Please enter this promotional code at checkout GH03709.
