Kroger Co. and Disney Plus are reportedly in talks for a streaming partnership. If the negotiations end in a deal, the leading American retail company that operates supermarkets in the United States will add a streaming service to its grocery delivery program.
If the partnership goes through, Kroger will offer Disney Plus service to its customers for free. This would be one of the benefits that members of its grocery delivery program, Kroger Boost, can enjoy.
Perks for Kroger’s Paying Subscribers
As per Bloomberg, major supermarkets and entertainment companies are looking to strike a deal with Disney Co. to offer its Disney+ streaming service to their respective customers. In the case of Kroger, it plans to provide this as a freebie for subscribing to Kroger Boost. The publication revealed that insiders familiar with the ongoing talks between Kroger and Disney Plus have shared this information.
If the companies agree to cooperate and sign a deal, members of Kroger Boost will immediately gain access to Disney Plus’ streaming platform. They will get this service this year without paying any additional cost to the membership fee.
Membership at Kroger Boost is offered in two options: $59 a year or $7.99 and $99 a year or $12.99 per month. The first tier offers free next-day delivery, while the more expensive option offers same-day delivery. They can also have free Disney Plus streaming if the talks are successful.
Rewarding Customers to Sign up for Subscriptions
PYMNTS noted that many companies, like Kroger, offer subscription services to simplify the purchasing process. This helps companies retain their customers and encourages them to visit the stores more frequently.
Retailers are adding perks like travel rewards, gas discounts, and now free streaming access as competition in customer membership programs becomes more intense. Meanwhile, it should be noted that Kroger and Disney Plus are still in the early stages of talks, so there is no guarantee yet that this will lead to a formal agreement.
