Instacart Launches in Portland with a Free Month of Deliveries!

Instacart has arrived in the Rose City! We are so excited to be Portland’s first one-hour grocery delivery service.

Beginning today, customers in Portland can order groceries from Whole Foods Market, Costco, and Uwajimaya Asian Market stores and have them delivered in as little as one hour. Customers do not need to be a Costco member to order from Costco on Instacart. Additional local stores will be added in the coming weeks, and customers can combine items from multiple stores into one order.

To start, we will serve the areas of Portland Proper plus Beaverton. Specific neighborhoods include: Pearl District, Downtown, Goose Hollow, Alberta, Mississippi, Hollywood, Belmont, Hawthorne, Laurelhurst, Overlook, Aloha, and Beaverton. A map of the coverage area can be found here: www.instacart.com/locations

“Portland is a young, vibrant city with a tech savvy culture,” said Portland City Launcher Bill Babeaux. “Portland also had the highest number of user requests per capita of major U.S. cities currently not served by Instacart, so we knew people wanted the service here. We’re excited to bring the city its first one-hour grocery delivery service and help residents enjoy the beautiful summer weather instead of waiting in line at the grocery store.”

Customers who order on launch day will receive a free month of deliveries via Instacart Express.
