HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Dillons announced Friday it will accept Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, benefits for pickup. The low-contact service will allow customers to shop online for groceries on Kroger.com or the Kroger app and pick up their order curbside at Dillons.
“Kroger is rolling out a payment capability across our nearly 2,800 grocery stores to allow more customers to access fresh, affordable food and essentials through our Pickup service,” Rodney McMullen, Kroger’s chairman and CEO, said. “We are committed to supporting all families as we work together with our associates and communities and government agencies and health organizations to flatten the curve during this unprecedented pandemic.”
“Even more customers will have access to the convenience of Dillons Pickup and the social distancing offered by curbside service thanks to the new SNAP/EBT payment option,” Steve Dreher, president of Dillons Stores, said. “Our stores across Kansas will accept this type of payment beginning on April 24.”
How Pickup works at Dillons:
1. Choose your preferred store location on Dillons.com or the Dillons app.
2. Shop and place your order for groceries on Dillons.com or the Dillons app.
3. Select a pickup date and time and SNAP/EBT as the payment method. If you’re using an EBT card, you’ll present your payment method at the time of pickup.
4. An associate shops for your order.
5. When it’s time to pick up your order, look for the pickup signs in the store’s parking lot and pull into your parking spot. Then call the number on the sign to let an associate know you’ve arrived.
6. An associate will bring your order out and load it into your car. At this time, EBT card customers can complete their transactions via a mobile point-of-sale system and pay for ineligible EBT purchases or any remaining balance with their debit or credit card.
