We are excited to announce the launch of Instacart’s on-demand grocery delivery service in Indianapolis, our 17th market!

Starting today, customers in Indianapolis can order groceries and other items from their neighborhood Whole Foods Market, Marsh Supermarkets, Georgetown Market, Costco and Petco stores and have them delivered straight to their door in as little as one hour.

There were many factors that made Indianapolis a great place for us to bring our service.

First and foremost, it’s about our customers. We saw a tremendous number of requests from the Indianapolis community to bring Instacart to their hometown. From the influx of young people who are staying and working in the city, to the families and seniors who need more flexible shopping options, Instacart is uniquely positioned to help meet the growing customer demand for convenient, speedy, and quality grocery delivery.

In addition to the outpouring of customer support, we also saw very high interest from grocery stores in the city — from our national retail partners to our new local partners, Marsh Supermarkets and Georgetown Market. By partnering with both local and national grocers, Instacart’s shopping model helps expand their reach to even more Indianapolis residents.

As our launch here in Indianapolis demonstrates, Instacart can be a part of the solution for cities of all sizes across the country when it comes to expanding access to convenient and affordable grocery options for their communities — and we are thrilled to be here in such a great city!

— Apoorva Mehta, Founder & CEO at Instacart
