In an attempt to step up its game with competitors such as Walmart, DoorDash, and Instacart, Amazon announced it will now offer same-day delivery of perishable grocery items in more than 1,000 cities throughout the United States. The e-commerce goliath also plans to roll this service out to more than 2,300 areas in the country by the end of this year.
In a statement, Amazon noted the new service is designed to complement its existing grocery services, including Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods Market, and other local grocery and specialty retailers featured on Amazon.
