Glencoe Resident Receives 1000th Delivery from Online Grocer Peapod

Neo Gullstrom, a brand ambassador for leading online grocer Peapod, made a special delivery last week. Included in his usual delivery route was Glencoe resident Maureen Valassori, a Peapod customer since February 1996, who received her 1000th grocery delivery order from Peapod. To celebrate the occasion, Peapod President Jennifer Carr-Smith joined Gullstrom on the ride to Valassori’s home, where they hand delivered the groceries, along with a gift basket and custom fleece jacket.

Why 1,000 orders with Peapod? Among convenience and value paired with fresh produce and a full store’s selection of grocery items, Valassori chooses Peapod because of her delivery driver, Neo.

“He is a wonderful Peapod employee,” she said. “Neo always arrives with a smile on his face and ready to help in any way. He has been delivering to my home for a very long time and is practically part of the family.”

Of the opportunity to thank Maureen for her loyalty to Peapod for twenty years, Peapod President Jennifer Carr-Smith said, “It was wonderful to be able to connect with Maureen and personally deliver her 1000th order. The folks who work at Peapod, myself included, are just like our shoppers – busy! – so it is nice to take time to celebrate something momentous like today. Delivering convenience and value right to our customers’ doorsteps is something Peapod does by design, and we hope that Maureen continues shopping with us for another twenty years.”
