Publix has kicked off its 15-minute grocery delivery service in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood utilizing a new “nano-fulfillment” center in partnership with Instacart.
The companies will open two more dark stores in the coming weeks — one in the city’s Brickell neighborhood, and another in the nearby city of Coral Gables, Florida, according to an Instacart spokesperson. The service offers “thousands” of items that include fresh produce, snacks, pantry staples and household items, per the announcement.
Publix is the first grocer to utilize Instacart’s new Carrot Warehouses, one of the new tools the e-commerce company offers as part of the suite of retail services it unveiled last month.
