Salary benchmarks
Our take
Despite a rise in demand, grocery delivery options are usually expensive and inconvenient. Gorillas solves this problem by offering quick, easy grocery delivery at retail prices.
Gorillas entered the market with a splash, passing a unicorn valuation in its first year of operation. Gorillas has benefited from its short delivery times, which far outperform those offered by more longstanding apps like Deliveroo. This is largely because Gorillas operates its own urban “dark stores” to fulfil requests, saving them time and money.
Gorillas is now live across Europe, and has entered the US market via the US. It has benefited hugely from the backing of enablement giant Delivery Hero, and this support will help the company to compete with the likes of Getir, Zapp and Gopuff.
