Description - Subscription-Based Delivery: Blue Apron
In September of this year, Blue Apron, a meal kit subscription service, celebrated its 10th anniversary. While today there are a plethora of meal kit subscription services, Blue Apron was a pioneer in this industry. To date, Blue Apron has served over 480 million meals!
Blue Apron boxes are filled with pre-measured (often pre-chopped) ingredients and the accompanying recipes. The company has expanded to include some oven-ready meals as well. Customers are given options for each week, and they can choose which meals they would like. Deliveries can be made each week or paused when customers choose to skip a week.
In 2015, Blue Apron began offering a wine service, providing direct-to-consumer wines. Recipes from Blue Apron highlight which bottle of wine a customer may want to select. Another new tactic is offering 4-serving meal kits at Costco.
Today, the subscription meal kit space is flooded with competitors. For example, NBC highlighted several "winners" in a recent article--the list included Blue Apron, Hungryroot, Home Chef, Sunbasket, Factor, Freshly, Bistro MD, and Splendid Spoon. However, there are many others.
