Instacart expanded to Miami – it’s 16th city – on May 19, and Instacart Southeast General Manager Nick Friedrich said growth has shattered all previous Instacart records. “We had thousands of people sign up for Instacart service before we’d even launched. Within two weeks that number had increased by 6-7x, and it’s continued to grow,” said Friedrich. Instacart now has hundreds of Personal Shoppers servicing the Miami area. “Instacart demand in Miami has exceeded even our very high expectations. As a result, we decided to accelerate Instacart’s expansion into Northern Miami, with more to come. We’re really excited to expand our presence and serve a larger part of the community.”
Additional neighborhoods being served by Instacart as part of the expansion are: Golden Glades, Surfside, Sunny Isles, Aventura, Ives Estates and North Miami Beach. The company was already serving the downtown Miami, Coral Gables, West Miami and Miami Beach areas. For a full map of Instacart’s Miami-area coverage, visit https://www.instacart.com/
Originally launched in San Francisco and since expanded into many other cities, Instacart has fundamentally changed the traditional grocery delivery space by connecting customers with Shoppers and Drivers who shop for and deliver grocery orders providing their own transportation in as little as one hour. This eliminates the need for costly infrastructure such as inventory, warehouses, trucks and full-time drivers. In January 2015, Instacart was named “America’s Most Promising Company” by Forbes magazine.
New customers can open an account at www.Instacart.com, and get free delivery on their first order of $10 or more. Instacart also offers Instacart Express – an annual membership that eliminates delivery fees for all orders of $35 or more. The cost is just $99 per year.
