Following Strong Initial Results, Bashas' Launches E-Commerce Site Powered By Instacart

Bashas' and Instacart joined forces to bring same-day grocery delivery to customers in March 2017. Based on the strong initial results -- including 13% average weekly sales growth (WoW) and average basket sizes more than two times the size of in-store baskets -- Bashas' is doubling down on the partnership with the launch of their own e-commerce Bashas' Powered by Instacart site to provide same-day grocery delivery to over 1.4 million households in the Phoenix metro area.

"Today's world is focused on convenience and it is important for us to offer time saving solutions to our customers. Through the partnership with Instacart, our customers get fresh, quality ingredients at great prices delivered right to their door," says Ashley Shick, Director of Communications and Public Affairs for Bashas' Family of Stores. "As a family owned grocer we understand that family time is most important so less time shopping can mean more time for families to spend together."

Bashas' customers across the Phoenix Metropolitan Area can now visit bashas.instacart.com to fill their virtual carts with all their favorite items, from produce and meat to everyday essentials and even alcohol, and have them delivered straight to their doorstep, often in as little as an hour. Customers who place orders on the Bashas' Powered by Instacart site will enjoy the same great in-store and Thank You Card prices they enjoy when shopping in person, while getting back something truly valuable: time.

"Bashas' is Arizona's favorite hometown grocer and a big part of the local community in Phoenix, which makes them a perfect partner given Instacart's mission to bring customers the groceries they want from the brands they trust," said Nilam Ganenthiran, Instacart's Chief Business Officer. "We are thrilled to launch the Bashas' Powered by Instacart site and continue helping brick and mortar retailer partners like Bashas' win in an increasingly Amazon'ed world."
