US natural food retailer Sprouts Farmers Market has expanded its grocery pickup service with Instacart to all of its more than 340 stores, offering “an added convenience for shoppers during this incredible time of need”.
The rapid expansion of the first service is first being rolled out to Los Angeles and Central California locations. Additional local market expansion details will be announced later. Previously, Sprouts offered pickup at 55 stores and grocery delivery in all major markets via delivery specialist Instacart.
The service allows customers to plan grocery pick up for the same day or to schedule several days in advance, subject to availability. Customers are alerted when their order is prepared by a Sprouts team member and ready for pickup. Their personal Sprouts shopper will bring the groceries to a designated pickup parking spot when the customer arrives and checks in.
This grocery pickup service is in addition to local grocery delivery by Instacart to select zip codes.
