SAN DIEGO (July 26, 2016) – Whole Foods Market and Instacart have expanded their partnership, launching this week in San Diego, building on the 24 existing metros where consumers use Instacart’s delivery service to order from Whole Foods Market stores.

Whole Foods Market offers delivery via Instacart at prices that are the same as shoppers find in stores.

“We’ve seen how much our customers in Los Angeles and Orange County love this fast and convenient way to receive their groceries right to their door, so we are thrilled to offer this service to our San Diego community,” said Patrick Bradley, president of Whole Foods Market’s Southern Pacific Region. “Instacart has given us a way to provide customers with the highest-quality, fresh and healthy groceries, even when they can’t make it into our stores.”

We’re excited to start in San Diego and look forward to continuing to innovate with Whole Foods Market in the services that we can bring to customers,” said Apoorva Mehta, founder and CEO of Instacart.
