“The pandemic has changed the retail experience and how people shop—advancing ecommerce by a decade in just a year and a half,” said Grocery Outlet chief executive officer Eric Lindberg. “We think it’s important to make our great-value products available across another platform and to a greater audience, introducing Grocery Outlet to customers who may not have shopped with us before. Consumers are telling us that convenience is more important than ever—and we are listening. We’re using this program with Instacart to continue expanding the strong foundation of touching lives for the better that Grocery Outlet was built upon 75 years ago.”

A neighbor in the Bay Area with a full turnkey solution and seamless customer experience, Instacart will provide additional accessibility and convenience to Grocery Outlet customers through its platform.

Customers can now have Grocery Outlet’s unparalleled selection of affordable groceries and pantry staples delivered from the store to their door in as fast as an hour,” said Carolyn Everson, Instacart President. “We’re proud to unlock this new ecommerce solution for Grocery Outlet and create even more ways for their customers to save no matter how they choose to shop.”
