San Francisco / CA. (grb) Food technology company GrubMarket Inc., the first-mover in tech-enabled B2B food eCommerce and a pioneer in Enterprise AI solutions for America’s food supply chain industry, announced it has completed the acquisition of Oakland, CA-based Good Eggs, a leading online grocery service renowned for its steadfast commitment to sustainability, local sourcing, and high-quality food. This strategic acquisition marks a key milestone for GrubMarket, as it strengthens its eCommerce capabilities with a category leader that has a strong and visible brand presence, particularly across its major service regions in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles.
Founded in the summer of 2011 in San Francisco, Good Eggs has built a reputation for delivering high-quality groceries and meals, sourced from California’s top organic farmers, makers, and producers. Operating out of a warehouse facility that spans over 125,000+ square feet in space, the company offers over 7,000 products ranging from fresh produce, dairy products, eggs, meat, seafood, and pantry staples, to prepared meals and artisanal goods. The team ensures that every item sold meets rigorous criteria for quality and environmental responsibility.
Good Eggs stands out in the crowded grocery retail market with its dedication to transparency and direct support for local agriculture. By maintaining close relationships with local farmers and producers, Good Eggs ensures that customers receive the freshest and most sustainably grown food available. This approach not only supports the local economy but also reduces the environmental impact associated with complex and fragmented supply chains. More than 70 percent of its products are sourced within 250 miles of distribution.
Good Eggs’ proven business model delivers best-in-class unit economics through a seamless online shopping experience and the company’s expertise in logistics. Its innovative supply chain practices allow it to maintain a spoilage rate significantly lower than industry benchmarks, ensuring peak-quality product freshness for customers.

GrubMarket’s CEO, Mike Xu, says: «Good Eggs has built an impressive brand with a loyal customer base that values sustainability and quality. We see tremendous potential in combining our extensive network and resources to further scale Good Eggs’ operations. At GrubMarket, we, too, believe in using our success to support local farmers and sustainable agricultural practices. Good Eggs’ commitment to these principles makes them an ideal partner for us. Together, we will continue to promote a more resilient and human-centered food system.
