goPuff has central warehouse facilities where the goodies are distributed directly from warehouse to consumer. With 24 hour service options seven days a week, in the bigger markets, goPuff is a convenient and easy way to get snacks delivered at anytime. Most markets behold a noon to 4:30am time window that makes it ideal for late-night sweet cravings.
The founders of the online store came from humble beginnings. In 2013, during their sophomore year, Rafael Ilishayev and Yakir Gola were only twenty years old when they were inspired to start goPuff. The pair attended Drexel University in Philadelphia where they discovered that college students do not have time to waste. The need for an on-demand delivery app came from realizing that much of their studying time was broken up by making runs to the store for snacks and essentials. Starting small, the young-men would skip their classes by using the excuse of using the bathroom to go out around campus on deliveries. Rafael and Yakir and founders are now seen lecturing on their campus and teaching students like they once were about becoming entrepreneurs.
Gola commented, “Rafael and I started the business with a small selection of convenience products and, after immediate interest on campus, we realized that the convenience store industry needed to be turned on its head. People no longer considered the convenience store to be convenient, and we felt we had found the way to revolutionize that space.”
With the need in mind, the young business partners began developing their app ideas in the back of their business notebooks. They spent day and night developing the app; eventually delivering their own goodies around campus in their Plymouth Voyager and needless-to-say, the business expanded.
Half a decade later, the duo has GoPuff in 90 markets and nearly 1000 employees. GoPuff is unlike any other on-demand delivery service, there are no surge fees and a flat service fee of a humble $1.95. Average delivery takes around thirty minutes to receive to your doorstep.
The young founder’s have been featured in Forbes in 2017 “30 Under 30” and Target Magazine’s “Target Marketer of the Year.” With all of this attention to marketing they have also hosted a pop-up at the Made in America Festival on August 31- September 1 in Philadelphia.
Studying long-nights or like LaLa Anthony’s set-delivery, goPuff makes anything accessible in a convenient way and eradicates the need for a third-party-pickup. With goPuff’s “Back to School” tour encouraging students to spend more time studying and with friends than making trips to and from stores for essentials and pick-me-ups. The goPuff app boasts a mascot that is a pufferfish.
