Walking through the bustling aisles of Blain’s Farm & Fleet in Janesville, it’s hard not to feel a sense of pride in our local retail giant. Blain’s has always been a cornerstone of our community, and now they’ve taken a huge leap forward by partnering with Roadie, a UPS company, to offer same-day delivery. This means that if you place your order by 2 p.m., you can have your items delivered to your doorstep that very same day. How cool is that?

Kristin Stewart, Blain's Chief Customer and Marketing Officer, summed it up perfectly: “Introducing same-day delivery enabled our holiday shoppers to fulfill their wish lists later than ever. After receiving rave reviews from our neighbors, we decided to offer the option year-round. It provides the convenience and dependability our customers expect from us.”

This isn’t just a minor upgrade; it’s a game-changer. During their December trial, Blain’s saw a whopping 738% surge in order volume and a 378% increase in revenue compared to the same period in 2022. Those numbers speak volumes about how much we all value fast, reliable service.

Marc Gorlin, founder and CEO of Roadie, shared some great insights: “As consumers, we’ve been conditioned to get our stuff faster and faster for years. Now, that expectation extends to big and bulky items as well. Blain’s Farm & Fleet understands this and is on the leading edge of getting all items, even big and bulky goods, to their customers when they want them.”

Blain's Farm & Fleet is truly leading the charge with this cutting-edge service. Whether you need a kayak, canning supplies, or even a beehive, Blain’s and Roadie have got you covered.

We’re so proud to see a Janesville staple pushing the boundaries of retail and logistics. With 45 locations throughout Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Michigan, Blain's Farm & Fleet is setting the standard for what customer service should look like.

Here’s to Blain’s Farm & Fleet, right here in Janesville, for continually raising the bar and making our shopping experience better than ever.
