Instacart Expands Service to Arizona for the First Time


PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwired - October 27, 2016) - Instacart (www.Instacart.com), the fast-growing retail delivery service whose personal shoppers hand pick and deliver items from trusted local stores, announced today that it has expanded into Phoenix, its first market in Arizona. As of today, Phoenix residents can order from their favorite retailers like Costco, Smart and Final and Petco, and have their groceries delivered straight to their doorsteps in as little as one hour. We've received an overwhelming volume of requests for expansion into this region and are excited to extend our service to 22 zip codes in Phoenix.

The holidays are coming and Phoenix residents have more than ever to plan for on even less time than usual -- especially if you're a pet owner! With retailers like Petco on the Instacart marketplace, users can get all of the pet supplies they need prior to heading out for the holidays; and if you're planning on staying home for the season, we have your grocery needs covered. You can even get a Halloween costume for your furry friend through the Instacart marketplace. Instacart's entrance to Phoenix will give residents the peace of mind that time-consuming grocery and pet-supply shopping can now be completed in a matter of minutes.
