Very shortly it’s going to be a whole lot easier to stock up on essentials in the Ardmore vicinity. GoPuff, a delivery company that caters to millennials, is about to spread its geographic wings.

The start-up founded by former Drexel students and roommates Yakir Gola and Rafael Ilishayev, both 24, targets university enclaves where it can provide customers with such household mainstays as paper towels, snacks, and even beer in certain markets, from its local warehouses, writes Suzette Parmley on phillynews.com.

With nearly 3,000 products on its shelves and 250 full-time employees, the business has grown steadily since its debut in 2013. GoPuff also serves 20 additional major markets in the United States, including Boston, Chicago and State. College.
