Walmart Introduces a Foodie Subscription Service

Dec 04, 2012

“Premium flavors of the world that come to you.” That’s the whole concept behind Walmart’s latest creation, Goodies Co.–a subscription service that delivers tasty little samples of artisan goods to food lovers at just $7 each month (including tax and shipping). According to their press release, “Goodies Co. has been in a private beta test for the last few months with over 3,000 users across the United States. Each month, treats are arranged into a thematic selection such as “Flavors around the World,” and “Trick-or-Treat Sweets” for Halloween.”

 

For the foodie, this concept can prove to exciting since each delivery is essentially a surprise. Goodies Co. also aims to allow food lovers a chance to try new foods and brands they’ve yet to taste at an inexpensive price; since a box contains about 5-8 trial size foods, that comes out to less than a dollar per piece! Some of the hand-picked treats include items such as  gourmet chocolates,   popcorn, teas, spreads, crackers, nuts, baking mixes, and chips.

 

If you’re a food vendor/manufacturer, Goodies Co. may be a unique way to get your name and product out to the public. You can inquire about it by checking out their website. But, if you’re simply just looking to try out the service, for now you will have to head on over to Goodies.co and request in invitation. Share your thoughts with us! Do you think this a service worth trying?
