PHILADELPHIA & CONCORD, Calif. — goPuff, the go-to platform for consumers’ everyday needs, today stated that it has closed its previously announced acquisition of BevMo!, the leading alcoholic beverage specialty retailer on the West Coast.

“We are pleased to complete this transaction and to formally mark the beginning of this exciting new phase for goPuff and BevMo!. At the core of both of our businesses is a commitment to serving our customers, and we are confident that together we can transform how customers on the West Coast access instant needs – from everyday essentials and local favorites to a wide range of alcohol products that have made BevMo! such a beloved brand,” said goPuff co-founder and co-CEO Rafael Ilishayev.

goPuff co-CEO and co-founder Yakir Gola added, “We’re thrilled to have BevMo!’s great team join us in our mission to become the world’s go-to solution for immediate everyday needs.
