Aldi and Instacart have unveiled Aldi Express, an Instacart-powered virtual convenience store that delivers Aldi-exclusive products in 30 minutes or less. Users can purchase nearly 2,000 items on the platform including prepared foods, snacks, drinks, grocery staples, and household needs.
Aldi Express delivery is now available to customers from more than 2,200 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, in a statement. "Together with Instacart, we'll continue to find ways to innovate and make the online grocery experience even more effortless and accessible."
Aldi began offering delivery services via Instacart in 2017. 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.
"We're proud to deepen our partnership with Aldi through the introduction of Aldi Express. 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, VP of retail at Instacart.
