The online grocery delivery service Shipt will begin deliveries from Huntsville area Kroger stores next week, the company says. To celebrate, new Shipt members who sign up before the expansion will get two weeks of membership free and $25 off their first order.

Starting Oct. 5, Shipt will deliver groceries and household items from Kroger to homes in Huntsville and three other Southern cities. The full selection of Kroger groceries and household goods is available.

Members pay $99 a year for the service and have free delivery on all orders over $35. To sign up, visit Shipt.com.

Shipt works by connecting members to "Shoppers" who hand pick ordered items and deliver them. The company is also hiring new Shoppers.
