New partnerships are truly the bread and butter, the cheese and crackers, of our industry—for these partnerships are strategic ways to expand the reach of dairy, deli, bakery, and specialty foods. C&S Wholesale Grocers recently made a decisive move in the retail sector after announcing its own new partnership with Instacart.
“C&S is proud to provide our retail partners with the ability to move their businesses online,” stated Corey Quiring, Vice President of Retail Services at C&S Wholesale Grocers. “Now more than ever before, shoppers need the safety and convenience of online shopping and home delivery. Instacart’s services are unparalleled in providing a seamless shopping experience.”
Chris Rogers, Vice President of Retail at Instacart, added, “Connecting local grocers to their customers online is incredibly important to Instacart, and the need for this has never been greater than it is today. It’s critical that families have access to groceries and goods from the retailers they love and trust. By partnering with C&S, we’re able to bring more independently-owned grocers online and ensure the communities they serve can more easily access the household essentials they need.”
As part of this new partnership, C&S will help bring Instacart’s network of independent grocers onto its marketplace, according to a press release.
The two companies will work closely to help retailers establish an e-commerce and delivery offering to meet the needs of their customers. Once grocers are live on the Instacart marketplace, shoppers will be able to access the store via the app.
How will C&S Wholesale Grocers' new partnership with Instacart strengthen the industry as a whole and add new innovation to the supply chain? Deli Market News will continue to follow the latest.
