Albertsons Cos. has begun piloting an Instacart-powered online grocery pickup service in six major cities.
Instacart said Tuesday that 40 stores — under the Albertsons, Tom Thumb, Randalls, Safeway and Vons banners — now offer Instacart pickup in Dallas, Houston, Austin, Las Vegas, Phoenix and Denver. The new click-and-collect service will work in tandem with Albertsons Cos.’ Drive Up & Go curbside pickup program, San Francisco-based Instacart noted.
In the first quarter ended June 19, Albertsons added more than 320 new Drive Up & Go sites, ending the period with 1,740 pickup locations overall.
