The Kroger Co. and Instacart are strengthening their collaboration to enhance the digital shopping experience. This expanded partnership focuses on bringing smarter, more seamless grocery shopping to customers everywhere.

Instacart is now Kroger’s go-to delivery partner for online orders. Shoppers can enjoy quick and reliable deliveries from nearly 2,700 stores under more than 20 Kroger banners across the country.

Shoppers using the Kroger iOS app will soon get a boost from Instacart’s AI-powered Cart Assistant. This tool makes meal planning simple, helps add favorite items to your cart faster, and offers creative meal ideas for you.

“It guides customers in building their carts, offers helpful meal suggestions, and focuses on what matters to them. We want to make grocery shopping simpler, more fun, and save families both time and money.” said Yael Cosset, Executive Vice President and Chief Digital Officer for Kroger.

The partnership between Kroger and Instacart is helping more orders get fulfilled efficiently and reliably. Leveraging AI, they continue to enhance the customer experience while improving operational performance, passing the benefits directly to shoppers. More and more shoppers are choosing Kroger Express Delivery, proving that it’s a fast, convenient way to shop and bringing in new customers along the way.

“We couldn’t be more excited about the next chapter of our partnership, as Instacart powers the new AI capabilities that will shape the future of how Kroger customers shop.” said Chris Rogers, CEO of Instacart.

Together since 2017, Kroger and Instacart have rolled out groundbreaking grocery innovations. They’ve launched nationwide and Express Delivery, added AI-powered Caper Carts, integrated fuel points, and developed advanced marketing solutions to make shopping easier and smarter.

This continued relationship enhances the customer experience, increases store traffic, and provides fresh opportunities to connect shoppers with relevant offers on products they love.
