Kroger and Drone Express plan to start test flights this week near the Kroger Marketplace in Centerville, Ohio.
Through the service Kroger will be able to deliver products not just to a home street address but also on the spot, such as picnic supplies to a park or sunscreen to the beach.
Licensed Drone Express pilots will manage the Kroger delivery flights from an on-site trailer.
Kroger is designing bundled product offerings within the five-pound weight limit for drone delivery.
Customer deliveries are due to go live later this spring, and another pilot is planned this summer at a Ralphs store in California, Kroger said.
