Instacart expands delivery footprint with Dollar Tree deal

Instacart and Dollar Tree have expanded their partnership to offer same-day delivery in as fast as one hour from nearly 7,000 of the latter’s US stores. 

This means that Instacart now partners with more than 700 national, regional and local retailers, to deliver from more than 65,000 stores.

“When it comes to major household expenses, we know every dollar counts. That’s why we’re proud to expand our footprint with Dollar Tree and make same-day delivery from this beloved value retailer accessible to more families,” says Carolyn Everson, President at Instacart. 

“Dollar Tree and Family Dollar offer truly unique shopping experiences that give customers more opportunities to save and discover new treasures everyday. We’re excited to extend the reach of these leading retailers and bring their incredible selection of discounted goods to more households nationwide”

“With our focus on best meeting customers’ evolving needs, we are pleased to expand our Instacart partnership to provide even more households across the country with convenience and value on everyday products, as well as the party essentials and seasonal items that Dollar Tree is best known for,” states Michael Witynski, President and Chief Executive Officer at Dollar Tree.

“Our customers discover new and exciting items every week, which help them celebrate all of life’s occasions at an extreme value.” 

The pair first partnered to launch same-day delivery from Family Dollar in November 2020.

Following a pilot, the companies expanded this to more than 6,000 Family Dollar stores in January and began testing same-day delivery from Dollar Tree in August. 

With the latest move, the companies now offer same-day delivery in as fast as one hour from nearly 13,000 stores across 48 states and Washington D.C.
