is the only service that can deliver groceries from multiple local stores within an hour, and is often less expensive for consumers than a personal, time-consuming trip to the grocery store. Customers can choose items from a variety of stores — such as Safeway, Dominick-s, Whole Foods and Costco — and mix them into one order. Instacart is disrupting the traditional business with its approach which utilizes a crowd sourced model of Personal Shoppers and requires no costly inventory, warehouses, trucks or full-time drivers. Instacart is not affiliated with the stores; its model is to connect customers with Personal Shoppers who shop on their behalf. Learn more at .
