Forgot to pick up that bottle of wine for dinner? Friends coming for the game and you’re out of beer and chips? If you live in the 75034 ZIP code part of Frisco, you no longer need to worry. A new Texas company called Lash has expanded from Dallas and claims to be able to deliver alcohol (along with fast food and snacks) to your door in an hour or less, and it's all handled by an app you can download to your iPhone or Droid.
Already operating in Dallas and Collin counties, Lash's co-founders say they can provide more than 3,000 types of beer, wine, ready-to-drink cocktails and mixers to nearly 40 ZIP Codes. You can call in the order from the phone number on their website or use the app. If you use the app, you can even track the driver's progress on your phone. Orders can be made up to seven days in advance.
“We’ve been highly successful in both Dallas and Collin counties and are eager to grow into new areas,” said Arshaad Mirza, Lash’s co-founder. “We are all about convenience. Today, people are busier than ever. Sometimes, it’s just the little things that make life easier.”
In addition to alcoholic beverages and food, Lash delivers energy drinks, ice, bottle openers and more. There's no minimum, but if the order is more than $35, the $5 delivery charge is waived.
For alcohol delivery, customers must be 21 years of age or older; have a valid, government-issued ID for verification; and be home to accept the delivery. Lash and its drivers are compliant with Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, and drivers will refuse to deliver if the recipient appears to be intoxicated or if it’s suspected that minors might be involved in the alcohol consumption.
The app is available in the App Store and Google Play, and orders can also be placed by telephone at 877-774-LASH (5274) or online at www.LASHDelivery.com.
