Gorillas Italy

Gorillas is a German online retailer which has been based in Italy since 2020. The company specialises in the fast distribution of groceries countrywide. 

Over 2000 references can be found on Gorillas Italy’s mobile application, all at small or large store prices, from major brands or local producers for fresh products. Orders are delivered within 10 minutes by its team of riders. 

Furthermore, a turnover of €2 million in 2020 was achieved by the firm.

A wide range of products are available under the following categories:

• Frozen Food: ice  cream, pizza, and many more.
• Drinks: juices and many others
• Fresh & Chilled Food: ready-made meals, vegetables, fruits, etc
• Savory Grocery: pasta and many more

Gorillas Italy sources its products from local farmers as a way to ensure short supply chains as well as to show support to local communities and to make sure that its customers are provided with the best quality of produce.

Moreover, several brands including Ben & Jerry and many more, collaborated with the business.

Gorillas Italy prevents the use of plastic packaging as much as possible to help the environment and also makes use of e-bikes instead of cars to reduce its carbon footprint. 

Furthermore, as of 2022, the firm has decided to end its business operations in the country. After operating for more than a year on the Italian market, Gorillas has already closed 3 of its warehouses and is planning to close the rest as well. However, the plan is to close the warehouses after the stock gets depleted.
