Walgreens has announced it is expanding on-demand delivery solutions with Instacart, the leading online grocery platform in North America, to serve residents across Illinois. Plans are also in place to roll out the service to nearly 8,000 stores nationwide over the coming weeks, including in Atlanta, Washington D.C. and New York City.
Customers can now find tens of thousands of Walgreens favorites for quick and easy delivery via Instacart in as fast as an hour, including over-the-counter medications, health and wellness, beauty and personal care, household essential and convenience products.
“Convenience is at the core of what we do and Walgreens is thrilled to be partnering with Instacart to bring customers a simple and trusted same-day delivery option for the products they need, right to their door,” said Stefanie Kruse, Vice President, Digital Commerce and Omnichannel at Walgreens. “This collaboration builds upon several other recent steps in our digital transformation to deliver health expertise to customers in new channels, which is timely given shifts in customer needs during the pandemic.”
