SAN FRANCISCO (KELO.com) -- Instacart announced today that it is expanding into the Sioux Falls area beginning August 15.
Sioux Falls area residents will be able to order from their local retailers, including Hy-Vee and PetcoNow.
Instacart says deliveries may be made in less than an hour.
The service areas include: Sioux Falls, Shindler, Buffalo Ridge, Ellis, Boekhoff Subdivision, Renner, Andys Acres, and Tea.
“Over the past year we’ve seen incredible demand in the Sioux Falls area,” said Sapna Mitchell, senior operations manager at Instacart. “We work with a variety of local retailers to provide the freshest, highest quality groceries to our customers. Launching in Sioux Falls gives us an opportunity to expand service in South Dakota.”
Instacart says customers can go online to www.Instacart.com or open the Instacart mobile app on their iPhone or Android device, select their city/store, add items to a virtual cart, then choose a delivery window (within one hour, within two hours, or up to five days in advance) and check out. An Instacart shopper accepts the order on his/her smartphone, uses the Instacart shopper app to guide them through shopping, and then delivers the order to the customer within the designated delivery timeframe.
The company says for orders of $35 or more, the delivery fee is $5.99. There is also an Instacart Express membership, which enables unlimited, free same-day delivery on orders of $35 or more. After a free trial period, Instacart Express membership is $14.99 a month or $149 a year.
