Grocery chain Wegmans has partnered with Uber Eats for delivery at its stores in D.C., Virginia, Maryland, Massachusetts and New Jersey.

The Uber Eats partnership is in addition to Wegmans’ existing delivery partnership with Instacart in the District. Wegmans stores in Virginia also use DoorDash for delivery.

The deal with Uber Eats includes a 5% discount on Wegmans orders of $35 or more. Wegmans customers can shop the store directly through the Uber Eats app.

“Our goal is to make meals easy and help our customers live healthier, better lives through exceptional food. Partnering with Uber and expanding our delivery network is just one way we’re able to continue to deliver on that mission,” said Erica Tickle, Wegmans’ vice president of marketing.

Wegmans has 24 stores in D.C., Maryland and Virginia.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
