As we gear up for another school year, Voilà is proud to help families save time, offering value, convenience, and ultimately peace of mind as they check groceries off their to-do list. Our purpose at Voilà, to help our customers spend time on the things that matter most, guides everything we do. With our Delivery Pass trial, families can experience the time-saving benefits of grocery delivery free of charge, making it easier to get kids out the door and even free up more family time.
In addition, we understand the importance of providing school-safe, allergen-free foods, to make packing healthy lunches easy. Families can easily find these items on our Webshop. Moreover, we prioritize healthy eating by offering a variety of fresh and affordable snacks, including locally sourced apples and other nutritious options. For those busy nights of activities, we offer a large selection of prepared foods from Farm Boy, Longo’s, O&B and more. At Voilà, we know time is precious, especially during the back-to-school season. We strive to help our customers spend it on what matters most.
