“We know that families across California are looking for safe and reliable shopping options this season from the retailers they know and love,” said Andrew Nodes, VP of retail at San Francisco-based Instacart. “We’re proud to partner with Cardenas Markets to bring their incredible selection of fresh foods to customers in as fast as an hour.”
Instacart teamed up last month with another West Coast Hispanic grocery chain: Sylmar, California-based Vallarta Supermarket. Instacart revealed that it was launching a “Vallarta Go” program from nearly all Vallarta locations in Southern and Central California.
For Cardenas, the Instacart deal is its second partnership rollout in December. The grocer partnered with DoorDash earlier this month to deliver Hispanic dishes prepared daily at its Cocinas (kitchens). Cardenas shoppers can track their Cocina order as it’s prepared, picked up and delivered by their DoorDash driver.
Ontario, California-based Cardenas Markets operates a total of 53 stores under the Cardenas banner and seven stores under the Cardenas Ranch Markets banner. The company is one of the largest Hispanic grocery chains in the country, with stores in California, Nevada and Arizona.
Instacart has partnered with more than 500 national, regional and local retailers to deliver from nearly 40,000 stores across more than 5,500 cities in North America. Instacart’s delivery service is available to more than 85% of U.S. households and 70% of Canadian households.
