Philadelphia, PA (April 28, 2026) — Chestnut Market, an award-winning, family-owned convenience store chain operating approximately 80 locations across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, has partnered with Lula Commerce to launch third-party digital ordering and delivery across its store network.
Through the partnership, Chestnut Market customers will be able to order convenience items, including the chain's popular Signature Bean to Cup coffee, fresh grab-and-go food, snacks, beverages, and everyday essentials, for delivery through DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub. Lula Commerce will centralize and manage Chestnut Market’s digital operations end to end, including menu setup, inventory syncing, order management, and marketplace optimization. This allows Chestnut Market to expand its digital reach across major delivery platforms while operating from a single, unified system.
The partnership represents the next step in Chestnut Market's broader digital strategy. The chain recently launched its Chestnut Rewards loyalty program and has continued investing in technology across its stores, including AI-powered self-checkout and personalized digital marketing. Adding third-party delivery through Lula extends that digital experience beyond the store walls, giving customers on-demand access to the products they rely on every day.
Founded in New York's Hudson Valley in the early 1980s by the Jamal brothers—Mickey, Sal, Cal, and Sam—Chestnut Market has grown from a single station into one of the most recognized convenience brands in the tri-state area. The chain, which is part of Chestnut Group, a petroleum marketer distributing fuel to more than 250 sites across the region, has earned a reputation for exceptionally clean facilities, outstanding customer service, and community engagement, including partnerships with organizations like Friends of the Walkway and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Chestnut Market was also recognized with a 2025 Best Store Design Award from CStore Decisions for its flagship Hutchinson River Parkway location.
“Our customers rely on us for quality, convenience, and consistency every day,” said Abigail Cerra, Director of Marketing, Loyalty & Communications at Chestnut Market. “Expanding into delivery allows us to meet them where they are and makes it even easier to access our brand. Lula brings the operational expertise we need to execute at scale, while allowing our team to stay focused on what we do best: delivering a great customer experience.”
"Chestnut Market is one of the most innovative and community-driven convenience brands in the Northeast, and we're proud to help them bring that experience to digital channels," said Adit Gupta, Co-founder and CEO at Lula Commerce. "Abigail and the Chestnut Market team have built an impressive digital foundation with their loyalty program and in-store technology, and third-party delivery is the perfect next layer. We're excited to help them reach new customers across all three states."
Lula will manage all third-party marketplace relationships, ensure menu accuracy across channels, and provide reporting and analytics to help Chestnut Market optimize its digital performance. The rollout will be phased across Chestnut Market's network of locations, with Lula working closely with the team to ensure each store is positioned for success.
