Amid the fanfare of its “virtual convenience store” launch with The Kroger Co., Instacart quietly introduced another convenience-focused offering: 24/7 delivery service.
San Francisco-based Instacart said this week that 24/7 delivery will be available at selected retail partners with stores open at all hours, including 7-Eleven, Walgreens, CVS Pharmacy, Rite Aid and Safeway locations. With the service, the online grocery delivery giant also will extend hours for retailers that aren’t open 24 hours a day but operate later at night or early in the morning.
The company noted that 24/7 delivery enables customers and its personal shoppers to place and shop orders whenever it’s best for them.
