7-Eleven and Instacart have announced a new partnership that will see consumers able to enjoy their favorite convenience store products quickly without the need to visit any stores. The same-day delivery service is being launched at 750 locations at launch with plans to expand nationally to more than 7,000 locations in the US in the near future. Shoppers can take advantage of ordering thousands of different products that will arrive at their doorstep in as little as 30 minutes.
Instacart President Nilam Ganenthiran spoke on the 7-Eleven and Instacart partnership saying, "We're excited to introduce 7-Eleven as Instacart's first national convenience store partner. 7-Eleven is a beloved, generational brand with a deep legacy. Most of us grew up with a 7-Eleven in our neighborhood and probably remember our first Slurpee drink. They're the world's largest convenience retailer, and are known for delivering consumers an around-the-clock accessible, convenient and affordable experience anytime, anywhere. We know that sometimes people need a full fridge and pantry restock, and other times they simply need a couple of items quickly. Whether it's a late-night snack or batteries for the TV remote, by partnering with 7-Eleven we're able to help even more consumers get exactly what they need, when they want it, from the retailer they love."
