What shop with aaron does

Shop with Aaron is a privately held personal shopping and delivery service founded in 2023 and headquartered in Rancho Cucamonga, California. The company operates a mobile/web application (app.shopwaaron.com) that aggregates product catalogs from seven partner grocery retailers — Albertsons, Costco, Costco Business Center, Smart & Final, Sprouts, Trader Joe's, and Ralphs — allowing customers in the Rancho Cucamonga area to browse, build carts, and request custom items for same-area delivery. The core product is the app itself, which features multi-store catalog integration and a custom-item request system, with the actual shopping and delivery performed by a single named operator, Aaron. Ordering can also be placed via direct phone or text contact.

The business model is a direct-to-consumer transaction-fee personal shopping service: Aaron shops at the customer's selected retailer and delivers to their door. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and appears to be arranged on a quote or per-order basis through direct contact. The customer base consists of local residents (households) and small local businesses in the Rancho Cucamonga service area, with marketing conducted through the website, app, and direct contact channels. The company lists Stater Bros and Vons as "Coming Soon" partners, indicating planned expansion of the retail partner footprint within Southern California.

Shop with Aaron operates with 1-10 employees, has no disclosed funding, no public pricing, no patents or certifications, and no identified management team beyond the named operator. The competitive positioning emphasizes human curation of in-store selections versus algorithmic delivery alternatives. As of 2026 the main website is undergoing a refresh while the shopping app remains operational.
