Philadelphia-based digital convenience retailer goPuff has expanded into Columbia, offering on-demand delivery of more than 2,000 products including ice cream, pet goods and school supplies, seven days a week from noon to 4 a.m.

The retailer stocks items in 40-plus markets where it operates, including Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Pittsburgh and Seattle. Orders may be placed through the goPuff mobile app or at goPuff.com. Other products available include groceries and household goods.

goPuff was founded in 2013 by Drexel University graduates Rafael Ilishayev and Yakir Gola. All orders can be delivered for a flat $1.95 delivery fee, according to a news release.

“goPuff’s mission is to create more time in the day for our customer and consistently redefine the very meaning of convenience by providing a high-quality experience at an exceptional value,” Ilishayev said in the release. “We’re thrilled to bring that experience to Columbia and deliver the moments that matter most to this vibrant community.”
