Just three years ago, Instacart’s future seemed bleak. Whole Foods, one of its biggest partners at the time, was acquired by Amazon, leaving an uncertain future for the grocery delivery startup.
Now, Instacart, whose business has soared during the pandemic, is partnering with one of Amazon’s biggest rivals: Walmart. Instacart confirmed to CNN Business on Tuesday that it will offer a same-day delivery option at Walmart locations in four markets—Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and Tulsa.
