Finnish food delivery company Wolt is celebrating the first anniversary of its launch in Luxembourg, which took place in February 2024.
In a press release, issued on Friday 7 March 2025, Wolt announced that, since the launch of its online platform one year ago, it has delivered more than 170,000 burger meals and nearly 60,000 pizzas and has expanded from 200 to nearly 600 restaurants. Wolt added that it delivers from restaurants, grocery, gourmet and wine shops, florists, chocolate shops and ice cream parlours. While the number of groceries and other retail products is steadily increasing, the company noted that restaurant food is still the backbone of its operations in Luxembourg.
According to Henrik Pankakoski, Regional General Manager at Wolt: “The start in Luxembourg has been great and we are delighted that so many people have tried the service over the past twelve months. We want to make cities better places to live by bringing convenience to customers, supporting local merchants and providing new, flexible ways to earn. We are delighted with the pace of our growth in Luxembourg, it is a fantastic story”.
Wolt launched restaurant home deliveries in Luxembourg City on 29 February 2024, and expanded to Esch-sur-Alzette in June 2024 and to Mersch in July 2024. Currently, more than 80% of Luxembourg residents have access to Wolt delivery services.
General Manager for Wolt Luxembourg, Tomás Etcheverry, added: “Since we launched in the capital in February last year, we now deliver to most of the country's population. The response from customers, restaurants, and couriers has been incredible, and we’re proud to be part of this vibrant community. Our mission has always been to make city life easier, and we look forward to growing and evolving even further”.
Wolt confirmed its plan to further expand the selection beyond restaurant food. The company founders described the Wolt app as “a shopping mall in your pocket” where customers can get whatever they need delivered to their home or workplace in 30 minutes or less.
“This opens up a whole new opportunity for local shops, who can offer fast delivery of their goods directly to customers while retaining control of the revenue stream. Customers also appreciate they are purchasing from stores in their local community, not from some warehouse out in the fields or some faceless ecommerce giant abroad. For us, it’s all about bringing local commerce closer to people living in Luxembourgish communities,” said Tomás Etcheverry.
