TORONTO — Shoppers ɫ Mart (SDM) is making shopping more convenient with the launch of home delivery services in partnership with Instacart. Customers across Ontario now have access to same-day delivery of groceries, everyday essentials and over-the-counter medications from approximately 60 SDM stores in the ­province.

“For decades, Shoppers ɫ Mart has been a destination for Ontarians for health and beauty products, food staples and general convenient shopping to help them make life a little bit easier,” said Matt Carr, the chain’s vice president of merchandising. “Working with Instacart allows us to serve our customers wherever they need us, whether that’s in a store or delivered right to their door.”

“We’re proud to expand our partnership with [SDM parent company] Loblaw to deliver groceries, household essentials and over-the-counter medications from Shoppers ɫ Mart to customers across the greater Toronto area in as fast as an hour,” said Andrew Nodes, vice president of retail accounts for Instacart. “Together, Instacart and Shoppers ɫ Mart are helping busy people and families stock their pantries and medicine cabinets with household essentials from a local retailer they love and trust.”

SDM customers in more than 30 communities across Ontario, including Toronto, Ottawa, Waterloo, Cambridge, Hamilton and London, can go online to www.instacart.ca/store/shoppers-drug-mart/ or open the Instacart app on their mobile device. From there, customers select their city and store and can begin adding groceries, everyday essentials and O-T-Cs to their Instacart grocery cart. An Instacart personal shopper will pick, pack and deliver the order within the customer’s designated time frame — in as fast as one hour or up to five days in advance.

For orders of $35 or more, the delivery fee is just $3.99. With an Instacart Express membership for $9.99/month or an annual fee of $99, customers get unlimited free delivery on all orders over $35. First-time customers of SDM on Instacart can enter the code INSTASDM15 at checkout for $15 off their first order of $35 or more.

Instacart and Loblaw expect to continue to expand the SDM partnership through the end of 2019. ɫ delivery through Instacart is currently accessible to more than 60% of Canadian households.
