Need a head of garlic or a bottle of wine? If you’re in Berlin or Cologne, Germany, Gorillas will deliver them to you within 10 minutes by bike. That’s faster than going to the store yourself.

With a second COVID lockdown beginning across Germany this week, this kind of delivery service will come in very handy. Ethical shoppers will be happy that the company employs delivery drivers directly, but how does Gorillas’ store model impact regular local shops?

Gorillas founders Kağan Sümer and Jörg Kattner did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

Gorillas operates via an iOS app and an Android app, both of which are simple and easy to use. You can search or browse by category, and the prices for each item are always displayed. You can buy everything you’d find in a regular supermarket, from beer to pregnancy tests, and there are local favorites on offer too: Berliners will love not having to queue for their Zeit für Brot cinnamon rolls, for example.
