Instacart Expands to Minneapolis and Partners with Target

We are very excited to announce that we are launching the Instacart service in Minneapolis — expanding to our 18th metropolitan area and bringing on-demand delivery to the Twin Cities!

We have consistently received a lot of interest for our service from the community — both from consumers who want to receive on-demand delivery and retailers who want to partner with Instacart to enable this for their customers. These factors lead to an ideal market for Instacart delivery, and we look forward to servicing Minneapolis with the fantastic stores that have signed on as retail partners.

As part of this launch, we are happy to announce that Target has chosen Instacart as its on-demand delivery partner.

That means starting today, customers in many parts of Minneapolis will be able to order food, household, health and beauty, pet, and baby products from Target and have them delivered straight to their doorstep in as little as one hour. We’re excited to be partnering with another company that believes in the power of innovation as much as we do.

And that’s not all.

Also beginning today, in addition to Target, customers throughout the Twin Cities can order from Whole Foods Market, Costco (no membership needed), Cub Foods, Wedge Community Co-op, Lakewinds Food Co-op, United Noodles and Petco stores and have everything delivered by Instacart. It’s clear that more and more retailers see us as their e-commerce solution for on-demand delivery.

There is a lot going on at Instacart — new cities, new partnerships, new types of products — but most important, we are excited to be reaching so many new customers and giving them a way to shop that meets their needs and fits their busy lifestyles.
