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.
