Food City has launched its new same-day delivery service, now available to more than 290,000 Knoxville, Tennessee, residents. The program is made possible through a joint partnership between the local retail supermarket chain and Instacart, a nationwide on-demand grocery delivery service.
To take advantage of the convenient new service, shoppers can visit foodcitydelivers.com or download the Instacart App to fill their virtual carts with items including fresh produce, meats and everyday essentials. Their orders will be delivered to their doorsteps, in as little as an hour. During the online checkout process, customers will be prompted to enter their Food City ValuCard number to take advantage of added savings and ValuPoints, and choose a delivery window ranging from within one or two hours, up to seven days in advance.
“Food City is committed to providing our loyal customers with the best products and services possible,” says Steven C. Smith, Food City president and CEO. “Our Food City GoCart curbside pickup continues to be very popular, and we’re excited to have the opportunity to work with a great partner like Instacart to expand our e-commerce options to include the added convenience of home delivery.”
“Instacart’s expansion across the Heartland of America, to meet the goal of serving 80 percent of American households by 2018, is driven by partnerships with the nation’s best retailers like Food City,” says Andrew Nodes, Instacart’s VP, retail accounts. “There is a clear demand for high-quality grocery delivery. Food City and Instacart are partnering to meet that demand in Knoxville.”
To celebrate the new partnership, Instacart is offering Food City shoppers $20 off their first order of $35 or more—plus a free first time delivery—when they enter the code HELLOKNOXVILLE at checkout.
Headquartered in Abingdon, Virginia, K-VA-T Food Stores (Food City’s parent company) operates 132 retail outlets throughout southeast Kentucky, southwest Virginia, east Tennessee, Chattanooga and north Georgia.
