Costco expands delivery on Uber Eats platform across USA bringing quick commerce service to 47 states
Uber Technologies and Costco have announced an expansion of their US partnership, bringing Costco delivery through Uber Eats to customers in 47 states, up from 17. Nearly 600 of the retailer’s locations are now available on the on demand delivery platform.
This includes locations in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Michigan, New York, and Pennsylvania. Costco’s full inventory of items - from bulk paper goods and groceries to its line of Kirkland Signature products, including the fan favorite $5 rotisserie chicken - is available for delivery.
“We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Costco nationwide, giving Costco members more ways to shop and bringing the brand’s storied selection and value to more consumers,” says Andrew Macdonald, President and Chief Operating Officer at Uber. “Costco is one of the largest and most trusted retailers in the country for good reason, and our nationwide partnership demonstrates the scale and opportunity Uber can bring to retailers looking to meet more of consumers’ everyday shopping needs.”
In addition to the US, Costco is also available on Uber Eats in Canada, Mexico, Japan, Taiwan, France, and Spain.
Instacart
Earlier this year, Instacart and Costco Wholesale announced the expansion of their North American partnership into Europe, with the launch of Costco’s first ever same-day delivery websites in France and Spain, powered by Instacart’s Storefront Pro commerce platform and fulfillment solutions services.
Costco members in France and Spain can now shop online and receive delivery through its websites in each country. The initial roll-out includes delivery from all locations in France and Spain, including the Paris metropolitan area and Mulhouse in France, as well as Bilbao, Madrid, Seville, and Zaragoza in Spain.
Orders are fulfilled and delivered from the store to the member’s door. Instacart is teaming with European partner companies in each country at launch for the picking, packing and delivery of orders. Members will also be able to get same as-in-store pricing.
So hot right now
Instacart is included in RTIH’s first ever Retail Technology Hot 100 List. Launching in August, this sees us bringing you the hottest companies whose solutions and systems are helping drive the retail sector forward.
Our Founder and Editor, Scott Thompson, drew up a list of 150 companies that had consistently been on his radar over the past 12 months whilst bringing our community the latest retail tech news and views that matter. These companies operate across the omnichannel retail landscape (stores, online, mobile, supply chain, payments etc).
Our judging panel, including Vineta Bajaj, Group CFO, Holland & Barrett, Dan McGrath, JD Group Customer Operations, JD Sports, Dr. Astha Purohit, Director of Product Management, Customer Data and Identity, Walmart, and Paula Bobbett, Chief Data and Digital Officer, Boots, provided feedback on those who have the most innovative, forward thinking technology offerings and are also best addressing retailers' current challenges, painpoints, and opportunities.
The judges used the following framework when making their picks:
1. Retailer problem fit - how meaningful, strategic, and widely felt the retailer pain being addressed is.
2. Production traction in retail (2025–2026) - real named retailer deployments, pilots.
3. Innovation and defensibility - genuine technical novelty paired with a defensible competitive position.
And there was also a public vote, with thousands of members of our community of retail tech enthusiasts getting involved. Thanks to all those who took part! Based on the judging panel's feedback and the public vote, we then drew up our first ever RTIH Retail Technology Hot 100.
So, without further ado, here are the 100 hottest global retail technology ventures right now. Drum roll, please…
