MIAMI, FL , March 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NextNRG, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXXT), a pioneer in AI-driven energy innovation transforming how energy is produced, managed, and delivered, today announced the launch of EzShop within its EzFill mobile fueling platform, a new shopping experience powered by Gopuff, a leader in instant commerce. Through EzShop, customers can order from more than 5,000 everyday essentials alongside their fuel delivery, all from a single app.

Launching in select EzFill markets in Q2 2026, EzShop will give customers the ability to shop more than 5,000 affordably priced everyday essentials, including groceries, snacks, beverages, household items, and OTC medications, and automotive basics like washer fluid and motor oil, with all orders fulfilled by Gopuff in as fast as 15 minutes. With EzShop, customers can have their weekly essentials and fuel-up delivered without ever leaving home, modernizing the traditional gas station pit stop while saving time. For NextNRG, the partnership expands its platform beyond fueling, creating a new revenue stream that leverages its existing delivery infrastructure.

This eCommerce integration enables EzFill to leverage Gopuff's technology, assortment and nationwide fulfillment network, to bring customers access to a new shopping experience without meaningful capital expenditure.

“This partnership marks a fundamental evolution of the EzFill business model,” said Michael D. Farkas, Executive Chairman and CEO of NextNRG. “We are transforming from a mobile fueling service into a digital commerce platform where energy and convenience converge. By partnering with Gopuff we’re creating a scalable model that generates incremental revenue per delivery while deepening customer relationships.”

“Gopuff seeks to deliver customers an unmatched experience by providing fast delivery, unmatched order accuracy, and a relevant assortment of more than 5,000 products,” said Alberto Menolascina, Gopuff’s Senior Vice President of New Business. “This integration with EzFill will help more customers save time by enabling them to accomplish two weekly tasks with a few clicks.”

The Gopuff integration is expected to launch in select EzFill markets in Q2 2026, followed by planned expansion to additional markets through year-end.
