“In 2013, we founded Gopuff in Philadelphia on our college campus with the premise of improving college students' lives,” said Yakir Gola, co-founder and co-CEO of Gopuff. “Today, we are excited to introduce our Student FAM membership which, at only $3.99 a month, is a no-brainer for all college students. We are proud to bring significant value and convenience to more than 1,000 college campuses across the country.”

Student FAM Membership Offers Amazing Benefits

As part of the membership program, students get all of the incredible, new FAM benefits Gopuff launched last month, including:

  • “Lower Than Low Prices” — Members enjoy always-on 30% price reductions on 100+ essentials, like a dozen organic eggs for $2, as well as laundry detergent, paper towels and milk.
  • Insane Weekly Deals — Dropping every Monday, members receive exclusive, limited-time offers of more than 40% off on trendy, new brands.
  • No fees, free delivery — Members get unlimited free deliveries with zero additional fees.

FAM members make up nearly 50% of all Gopuff orders and save an average of $20 per month per member. Student FAM can often pay for itself in as little as one order.

  • Bumble: Student FAM members get a free, 7-day Bumble Premium trial.
  • Gauthmath: Student FAM members can access an extended 7-day free trial of GauthPlus and 25% off a Gauthmath premium subscription.

Whether it’s a weekly grocery order, an early-morning test prep or a late-night snack craving, Gopuff’s diverse selection of products uniquely caters to the vast needs of students at unbeatable prices.

A Platform By Students For Students

As freshmen at Drexel University, Rafael Ilishayev and Yakir Gola realized that Yakir — the only friend of theirs with a car — was spending a lot of time running errands for their friends. They knew there had to be a better way. A few months later, Rafael and Yakir launched Gopuff and were making deliveries in a Plymouth Voyager around campus during their sophomore year. Now, ten years later, Gopuff operates hundreds of micro-fulfillment centers and serves customers in over 1,000 cities.

The launch of Student FAM is the latest consumer benefit from Gopuff, coming on the heels of the new FAM membership benefits announcement. The launch also follows the expansion of Gopuff’s Ads platform in the UK and the announcement of new Ads capabilities. Gopuff will never stop innovating for its customers, and Student FAM sets the stage for even more exciting initiatives to come.
