- Sam's Club is partnering with Instacart on same-day grocery delivery to add another wildcard to the Amazon-Whole Foods grocery push.
- The service will only be available in Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth and St. Louis in its initial stage.
- Details: "Instacart customers will have the option to shop local Sam's Clubs without a membership, giving them access to Sam’s Club’s signature savings and bulk shopping options, paired with the convenience of same-day delivery. Sam's Club members will simply save their membership number in the loyalty card section to receive membership rewards and lower, member-only pricing on items."
- CNBC observes that the Sam's-Instacart development raises the question on if the Walmart (NYSE:WMT) chain will also partner with Instacart at large.
- Costco (NASDAQ:COST) and Kroger (NYSE:KR) have already expanded their partnerships with Instacart in what's starting to become a bifurcation within online grocery of Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) vs. Instacart & gang.
