Grocery wholesaler and retailer Supervalu Inc. has entered into an exclusive multiyear contract with on-demand delivery service Instacart. Under the agreement, Supervalu recently launched refreshed e-commerce sites “Powered by Instacart” for four of its retail banners across the nation: Cub, Farm Fresh Food and Pharmacy, Shop ‘n Save, and Shoppers Food and Pharmacy.
Supervalu and Instacart first joined forces to offer same-day grocery delivery in September 2015. Based on customer response and continued demand for e-commerce options, Supervalu says it has selected Instacart to expand its offerings, including click-and-collect, a solution that allows customers to order online and pick up at the store without leaving their vehicle. The expanded offering will provide integration of store coupons and loyalty rewards for orders placed online through the Powered by Instacart sites, delivering additional value for shoppers.
“Our relationship with Instacart continues to evolve, and going forward we have a great plan for delivering online grocery and meal solution options for our retail customers,” said Anne Dament, EVP of retail, marketing and private brands at Supervalu. “Supervalu is committed to addressing the unique preferences of the communities we serve, and now customers have another option to get the fresh, premier products they expect from our retail stores with the convenience of same-day delivery that fits with their busy lifestyles.”
