This is quite an interesting move: http://www.statesman.com/business/retai ... qFppERQ8O/
H-E-B has already started grocery delivery options (prominently displayed outside stores now) as well as partnered with Instacart. They've also been pushing the curbside delivery options in the last year now pretty heavily.cathandler wrote: ↑February 16th, 2018, 9:53 pm If grocers want to compete in the delivery space, they have three alternatives: outsource to Instacart or some similar third party, buy an existing delivery service, or build their own delivery infrastructure from the ground up.

HEB is actually spreading their weight around quite heavily in the delivery space, with partnerships with Instacart, Shipt and Favor. It will be interesting to see if they continue to partner with the other delivery providers as Favor is integrated into the company.pseudo3d wrote: ↑February 16th, 2018, 11:13 pmH-E-B has already started grocery delivery options (prominently displayed outside stores now) as well as partnered with Instacart.
