Aldi U.S. Launches Website Powered by Instacart
Aldi U.S. has launched a new website and mobile app powered by Instacart’s white-label e‑commerce and fulfillment platform, Storefront Pro, moving away from continuing to develop its e‑commerce technology in‑house. Instacart — which has worked with Aldi on same‑day delivery since 2017 — will act as Aldi’s exclusive digital fulfillment partner. The Storefront Pro build delivers improved product recommendations, enhanced discovery and shoppable recipes, and can integrate loyalty and marketing/CRM features. Instacart says it supports roughly 380 retailers on its Storefront platform and launched more than 70 net‑new Storefronts in 2025. Instacart also cites its dataset from more than 1.5 billion completed grocery orders as a differentiator. Aldi is simultaneously expanding its physical footprint, planning 180+ new U.S. stores this year.
Academy Sports Partners with Instacart for Same-Day Delivery
Academy Sports and Outdoors has partnered with Instacart to offer same-day delivery from more than 300 stores across 21 states, with delivery available in as little as one hour. The retailer said it will charge the same prices on Instacart as in its physical stores. The move expands Academy’s omnichannel fulfillment options following an earlier same-day delivery arrangement with Uber Eats and comes as Instacart continues to add non-grocery retailers to its marketplace.
Tractor Supply partners with Instacart for same-day delivery
Tractor Supply has partnered with Instacart to offer same-day delivery from more than 2,400 stores, with deliveries available in as fast as an hour, according to a July 14 announcement. The service will bring everyday essentials — including pet food, farm feed, ranch products, garden supplies, tools and hardware — to rural customers. The move complements Tractor Supply’s broader final-mile strategy, which includes delivery hubs and employee-led delivery for bulk items, and adds to the retailer’s existing fast-delivery partnership with DoorDash. Instacart said its marketplace hosts more than 2,200 national and local retail banners, and recent partners include Ace Hardware and 1-800-Flowers.com.
