It is worth mentioning that many more popular international and local brands will follow, while some of them are adding the delivery service for the first time such as Elinikon and Someg.

Launching initially in the most populated areas of Tirana and expanding to the city's outskirts, in the coming weeks, Wolt's strategic approach reflects a commitment to creating a vibrant local ecosystem. The platform actively collaborates with Albanian restaurants and big popular chains, bridging global reach with local identity and providing users with a unique and delightful experience.

The platform's exclusive international presence in Albania introduces features designed to enhance user experience, solidifying Wolt's position as a trusted name in global delivery.

At the same time, Wolt platform users will have the opportunity to follow the progress of their order in real time, through the live tracking provided. The app's menu is accompanied by photos, simplifying purchases, while transactions can be done by card or cash, with customers being able to schedule delivery at a day and time that suits them for even greater convenience. A special promo awaits all new users who register, offering them 14 days of free delivery for any order they place within those days. Last but not least, consumers have access to the fastest and best customer service team in online delivery, which responds in less than 60 seconds on average.

As Wolt enters the Albanian market, it symbolizes a new era of technological, and culinary, innovation, promising not just deliveries but immersive experiences that celebrate the rich tapestry of local cuisines. The platform's commitment to safety and satisfaction underscores its mission to make cities better places to live. 

Dimitris Karelos, General Manager for the Mediterranean Region stated: “Today, we are extremely happy to announce the launch of our operations in Albania, the 27th country Wolt launches globally. Albania already has a great restaurant industry which has the potential to show further development through Wolt’s technology, providing a unique experience for Albanian consumers and growth opportunities for local merchants. Today we launch operations in Tirana with more than 130 restaurants, however we expect to expand soon with more restaurants, bigger population coverage, adding gradually new products and services available for Albanian consumers, always aiming to constantly serve our commitment, to make cities better places to live.”
