Peapod Career Opportunities

Brothers Andrew and Thomas Parkinson founded Peapod in 1989 in Evanston, IL. The Parkinson brothers' goal was to offer a convenient way for consumers to accomplish their grocery shopping.

Peapod began test marketing in Evanston in July, 1990 with about 400 households. The orders were placed online, just not over the Internet. Peapod would provide software to customers and even sell the modems customers would need to dial in directly to Peapod. During these early days, Andrew and Thomas would do the picking and packing themselves, and make deliveries using their own cars - with their wives and other friends helping out as needed! As demand for the service grew, Peapod expanded operations to include much of the greater Chicago area, which is currently its largest market. Peapod soon extended into additional markets, and began taking orders over its own web site (www.peapod.com) in 1998. To date, Peapod provides service in Greater Chicago area, Greater Boston area, Connecticut, Long Island, New Jersey, New York, Baltimore and Washington D.C.
