“At Albertsons Cos., we place the customer at the center of everything we do, and we realize that shoppers today are increasingly busy with work, family and friend commitments,” said Stephen Menaquale, senior vice president of eCommerce and fulfillment for Albertsons Cos. “By expanding our partnership with Instacart to offer pickup services through the Instacart app, we are offering customers another channel to fulfill their shopping needs. Shoppers are likely driving by one of our stores on their way home from work or after their kid’s soccer practice, and with Instacart pickup services, we are providing a convenient solution for grocery shopping that fits into their busy lives.”
The expansion includes:
Pickup: Available now in hundreds of Albertsons Cos. banner stores, Instacart customers can place a pickup order through the Instacart App. By the end of August, the pickup service will be available in more than 2,000 banner locations.
Albertsons Rapid: Albertsons Rapid is a new feature in the Instacart-powered virtual convenience store allowing customers to have their order delivered in as little as 30 minutes. Available now in all Albertsons Cos. banner stores, customers can purchase prepared foods, snacks, drinks, grocery staples and household essentials.
Haggen Food & Pharmacy: Customers of Haggen Food & Pharmacy, which operates across Washington state, are now able to access the grocer’s fresh food and pantry staples for same-day delivery. Haggen Food & Pharmacy marks the final Albertsons Cos. banner to partner with Instacart for same-day delivery.
