SAN FRANCISCO and BATAVIA, Ill., June 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Instacart, the leading grocery technology company in North America, and ALDI, one of America's fastest-growing retailers, today announced ALDI Express, a new Instacart-powered virtual convenience store, that gets ALDI-exclusive products to customers' doors quicker than ever.

ALDI Express convenience delivery is now available to customers from more than 2,100 ALDI locations across the country.
"We know our customers live hectic lives, and sometimes that means they don't have time to make it to the grocery store - even for a quick trip. Through ALDI Express, we're making shopping more convenient so you can satisfy a craving or get a missing ingredient in minutes," said Scott Patton, VP of National Buying at ALDI. "Together with Instacart, we'll continue to find ways to innovate and make the online grocery experience even more effortless and accessible."

With this launch, we're making it easier for customers nationwide to get their favorite ALDI staples delivered faster than ever before," said Ryan Hamburger, Vice President of Retail at Instacart. "We know how important it is to get what you need when you want it - whether it's a last-minute delivery for a missing dinner ingredient, milk for the baby or simply wanting a late-night snack."
ALDI began offering delivery services via Instacart in 2017. Instacart now delivers from more than 2,200 ALDI stores and powers pickup for more than 1,500 ALDI stores nationwide. The companies expanded their partnership in 2018 to include alcohol delivery, and ALDI was one of the first retailers to accept EBT SNAP online through Instacart in November 2020.
