Instacart teams up with coworking space provider

Instacart is becoming the official same-day delivery platform for all U.S. coworking spaces of a major player in the industry.

The grocery technology company’s Instacart Business offering, which delivers professional supplies from more than 80,000 stores of 1,100 retail banners across more than 14,000 cities in the U.S. and Canada,  is now the official same-day snack, beverage and supplies marketplace for  Industrious, which operates coworking spaces across the U.S. 

Through this partnership, Industrious offices will get same-day delivery on products such as food and beverage items, as well as office supplies such as printer paper. All Industrious business customers that are new to Instacart will also receive a complimentary one-year Instacart+ subscription membership when they sign up and create a business profile, giving them unlimited free same-day delivery on orders over $35.

“Whether it’s inviting a local vendor to serve regional specialties at lunchtime, creating a breakfast buffet featuring a variety of cereals, or hosting a micro-brewery tasting for happy hour, Industrious aims to deliver a unique and unforgettable experience that ensures their guests feel welcome, productive, and satisfied throughout their day– and now we’re proud to play a small part, too,” Instacart said in a corporate blog post.

Instacart offers business-to-business marketplace

 The grocery technology company first introduced Instacart Business in February 2023. Instacart Business customers can create a shopping list and order goods with a few taps. Customers can also use an auto-order feature for items that they need on a rolling basis and automatically recreate previous orders. There are no monthly minimum order requirements or additional contracts required.

The onboarding process to shop all participating retailers can be completed in three clicks, and businesses can also join a waitlist for new features that will be made available over the coming months.

Flexible delivery options include same-day delivery in as little as 30 minutes, discounted no-rush delivery, and long distance delivery options. The program also offers a business credit option and tax exemptions for eligible organizations in select states.

To help support diverse small businesses, Instacart is partnering with organizations including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, U.S. Black Chambers, U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, U.S. Pan Asian American Chambers of Commerce, Women’s Business Enterprise National Council, and Black Enterprise.

Instacart partners with more than 800 national, regional, and local retail brands to facilitate online shopping, delivery and pickup services from more than 70,000 stores across more than 5,500 cities in North America.
