Instacart launches in Quebec to offer shoppers its first French-language experience. The same-day delivery service is now available in all 10 Canadian provinces, thanks to its expansion across stores in Quebec.
The leading online grocery platform in North America partnered with Costco, Les Aliment M&M, and Walmart stores in Montreal, Quebec City, Sherbrooke, and Gatineau. Instacart is translating its same-day delivery services to French, marking its platform's first time in non-English settings. Consumers can visit Instacart's website for delivery schedule details, as they vary among each store.
With added language accessibility, Instacart creates a new way for Quebecers to connect with local brick-and-mortar retailers. More than 1,000,000 households in the province now have access to same-day grocery delivery services.
