Petco expands Instacart availability

San Diego - After a successful pilot in Boston and San Francisco, Petco is expanding its partnership with Instacart. Beginning April 28, customers in 14 metro areas served by Instacart can order from Petco stores and have everything delivered in as little as one hour.



Instacart currently serves 15 metro areas: Atlanta, Austin, Boulder, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, Portland (OR), San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle and Washington, D.C. The company plans to add several more cities before the end of 2015.



New York City will not be included in the current launch, but will follow in the summer.



“Based on successful Instacart delivery pilots in Boston and San Francisco, we’re pleased to expand our offering,” said Brad Weston, executive VP and chief merchandising officer at Petco. “Customer feedback has been positive and we see same-day delivery in these 14 cities as a key component of Petco’s consumer-focused omnichannel offering.”
