Instacart Arrives In Twin Cities With Cub Deliveries, Pilot Test With Target

Grocery delivery service Instacart has set up shop in the Twin Cities, including tests with two of the region’s largest food chains, Cub Foods and Target.

The company is part of a wave of start-ups that are taking new approaches to food delivery. Instead of dealing with a specific grocery, consumers can use Instacart’s website or mobile app to order goods from several different grocers. A delivery fee is based on order size and speed of delivery.

The service launched Tuesday with 150 local employees, 100 of them part-timers, who will initially make deliveries in much of Minneapolis, a swath of St. Paul along Interstate 94 and parts of Richfield, Edina, Hopkins and St. Louis Park.
