The new partnership will offer same-day delivery to a select few U.S. markets.
Walmart’s partnership comes at a pivotal time as customers are relying further on online delivery for grocery’s due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic with some analysts commening that customers will continue to shop online even as things begin to return to normal.
By offering quick delivery, big chain grocery stores are able to strongly compete with Amazon which now offers grocery delivery services Amazon Fresh and Amazon Prime Now.
Instacart already partners with other big chain grocers such as Aldi, Target, Costco, Albertsons and Kroger as well as small grocers and drug stores.
