Canada’s on-demand grocery delivery service Inabuggy has partnered with McEwan Fine Foods Don Mills to launch a 3D virtual grocery shopping portal so consumers can visually shop for groceries from home.

By selecting the option to shop virtually on the Inabuggy app or web site, shoppers are virtually transported to McEwan Don Mills on Karl Fraser Road in Toronto, where they can “walk through” the carefully curated aisles in a seamless 3D store environment and visually shop and select grocery items from home.

“Our first-of-its-kind virtual shopping portal piloted with McEwan Don Mills is offering customers a glimpse into the online grocery shopping experience of the future,” said Julian Gleizer, CEO and founder of Inabuggy. “This premium experience enhances both customer engagement and convenience, and lets customers get a close-up view of store items within each aisle, letting them feel like they are physically in the store.”

As more people continue to shop for their groceries online during the pandemic, the 3D shopping experience allows them to shop or browse the aisles quickly for fresh produce, meats, fish, restaurant quality prepared meals and gourmet grocery items, while finding the items they want in the same place, each and every time they access the platform.

“We are thrilled to partner with Inabuggy to launch this exciting virtual grocery shopping portal at McEwan Don Mills,” said Mark McEwan, chef and owner of the McEwan Group. “We have a wide variety of unique products and quality produce and this feature will allow our guests to discover our offerings from the comfort of their homes, making it even easier to eat well.”

Across Canada, Inabuggy offers delivery of over 700,000 SKUs through its web site and app from more than fifty retail partners in over 200 regions servicing British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec. Inabuggy has also partnered with CPG companies including Conagra Brands, Fruits From Chile, Kraft Heinz, Oppenheimer Group and SC Johnson.

Since launching in 2015, Inabuggy has allowed Canadians to shop thousands of items online and via the Inabuggy app from grocery and specialty stores including Costco, Rexall and PetSmart – and have everything delivered to their doorsteps in as little as one hour. Inabuggy’s personal shoppers handpick, pack and deliver orders to ensure quality and freshness, and to fulfil special requests about items.

McEwan Fine Foods is a gourmet marketplace and a reflection of chef Mark McEwan’s style of cooking. It brings fresh produce, culinary finds and McEwan’s signature prepared meals straight to the table. It has three locations in Toronto.
