Instacart will expand its delivery capabilities beyond the consumer space with the launch of Instacart Business, a B2B service aimed at helping small businesses. Instacart Business will connect business owners with retailers representing 1,100 national, regional and local retail banners with a combined 80,000 stores across more than 14,000 cities in the U.S. and Canada.
The new service was designed to serve companies that make purchases in smaller quantities, such as snacks to fill a breakroom or meals for a daycare. Instacart Business also will cover office supplies currently offered by Instacart, such as paper and pens. Current retail partners include Costco Business Center, Staples, Restaurant Depot and BJ’s Wholesale Club.
