“Whether it’s a last-minute dinner ingredient or parents needing a quick restock on diapers, we know Miamians seek convenience in their lives and we’re excited to collaborate with Publix to power it.”
Publix and Instacart started their partnership in 2016 with the launch of one-hour deliveries.
Publix has also collaborated with Instacart to offer additional services, including kerbside pick-up, delivery and collection of products such as alcohol and Publix’s signature Pub Subs.
Publix operates a network of 1,295 grocery stores across several states in the US’ south-east, including Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia.
Instacart recently partnered with Canadian family discount store Giant Tiger to launch a same-day delivery service in Canada.
The service allows customers to purchase items from more than 180 Giant Tiger stores across the country and have them delivered in a minimum of one hour.
