Kmart Makes Shopping Easier With Local Online Shopping

A new local service, mygofer™, is popping up in states across the US and is designed to make your life easier. You see, this isn’t like ordering from a typical online store, with mygofer you can find virtually anything. Customers can order items online at mygofer.com, by phone, or through any mobile device, and pick up items at their local Kmart location within hours. Plus, as of June 1st, customers can now even have items delivered directly to their home or office.
Be on the lookout for mygofer™ stores
Joliet, Illinois is home of the only mygofer store, but I believe we may be seeing more of these opening up in other states. In addition to being able to have items delivered to your home or picked up at your local Kmart store, you can visit a mygofer store and shop for thousands of items at touch screen kiosks, and then pick up your items in their drive-thru. You can find more information about this one-of-a-kind store at the city of Joliet‘s website
This service is perfect for Busy Mom’s. You can buy your groceries, gifts, prescriptions, beauty products and more all online and pick them up that same day. That’s perfect for when you are in a time-crunch and don’t have all day to walk around the store.
To celebrate the launch of this new service, Kmart is offering a $50 mygofer gift card to a Busy Mom reader.
Congratulations S Carter!
Extra entries:
Win a $50 mygofer.com gift card. You pick up at your local Kmart or have items delivered to your home. #giveaway http://bit.ly/dwF2bm

I like the way the products are organized on the site–it triggers my memory of what I need at home.
Comment by Katie on 1 August 2010:
Interesting service. I’d be neat if I could do my grocery shopping at home and then just pick it up and be on my way… no distractions, no impulse buying, no dealing with walking thru the store for a hour with my wiggly son. I’d be willing to give that a shot… of course, they better take my coupons and stuff though
Comment by Jennifer Barr on 1 August 2010:

I love the concept of this. My husband often travels to international countries for work and ends up sending me out a few days before he goes for all sorts of random things. He could use this instead of me running all over town trying to find things for him.

i love that mygofer.com is so easy to use
Comment by Geoff K on 2 August 2010:
Besides the sheer convenience and thoroughness of mygofer, I have to say my favorite feature would have to be the Produce Picker – I’m terrible at knowing which fruits and vegetables are the freshest and ripest when I go to the store myself, so it would be great to let mygofer do the work for me since they guarantee the best produce. Thanks!
