As NYC parents, we’re constantly on the move. We’ve all had that moment when we’re prepping to cook or bake something for our kids and then realize that we’re out of a key ingredient. Oops, didn’t have time to go to the grocery store this week! If only there was a faster way to get what we need, when we need it. That’s where JOKR comes in, a grocery delivery app that has everything you love, delivered to your doorstep in less than 15 minutes! 

Okay, so JOKR can save me a shopping trip, but what makes JOKR special? Well, JOKR is in touch with the needs of NYC parents. Let’s say you’re out of diapers, JOKR can bring them to you asap. Maybe your little one spikes a fever and needs medicine, well JOKR can bring it to you instantly. And for our cat and dog mamas out there, it is oh-so-common to run out of that kitty litter or doggy bags, but don’t worry: JOKR to the rescue. 

JOKR is different from any other speedy NYC services because it truly understands what it means to be a busy NYC parent and proactively invents systems and stocks items to take away some of our stress. JOKR carries best-sellers and top local brands so you can always find your favorites. And on top of that, there’s no delivery fee or order minimum, so you really can just place an order for diapers! A trip to the grocery store can take forever, and with our kids asking us for basically anything and everything sugary & sweet as we stroll through the aisles, it can be one hectic time. Say goodbye to those days with JOKR. 

Curious if JOKR is in your area? Currently, JOKR delivers to Manhattan below 35th Street, the Upper East Side, LIC and Williamsburg and delivery is coming soon to many more neighborhoods in NYC! For more info, check out jokr.com.
