The firm at the beginning of June 2021 launched its first Micro Fulfillment Center in Nairobi as the company expands its quick commerce division, this means that consumers can use Glovo to order from their favourite supermarkets, neighbourhood stores, and now Glovo market. Glovo intends to open more of these micro fulfillment centers in the future, across different towns to ensure the quickest possible delivery times with customers receiving their orders in 20-40 minutes.
