Partner content: Why I like iCurbside

If you’re not familiar with iCurbside, it is the Ingles Markets on-line ordering and curbside pick up option we offer at many of our stores. We even have a free “app” for phones! You can learn more about iCurbside here: Shop - Ingles Markets Inc (ingles-markets.com) including a FAQ (frequently asked questions).

I’ve used iCurbside many times…for example when:

• Both my husband and I were sick with Covid19, felt terrible, and had to limit contact with others – but still needed groceries. I was able to order on-line, drive to the store, the Ingles associate put my groceries in the car, and I was back home in a matter of minutes.

• I had hurt my ankle and was in a brace and walking around was difficult. It was so convenient to arrange for my iCurbside order and pick it up and not have to try and walk around the store

• We were coming home from vacation and knew we had no food at home. We were able to do an iCurbside order and stop before we got home so we’d have food to eat that night.

• We were watching my young grandson and didn’t want to take him into the store. Using iCurbside was a great way to get our groceries easily.
