7-Eleven Offers Half-Hour Delivery

Specialty Food Association

7-Eleven shoppers can now have their orders delivered within a half-hour via the retailer's partnership with Instacart, from nearly 6,000 stores across the U.S. Available products include pantry staples, household items, alcohol, snacks, and over-the-counter medication.

“7-Eleven strives to be the world’s leader in convenience, which means giving customers what they want, when, where and how they want it,” said 7–Eleven senior vice president and head of digital Raghu Mahadevan, in a statement. 

The new service is available across 33 states and Washington D.C.

“We know the way customers shop for their groceries and goods varies week-by-week. Sometimes people need a full fridge and pantry restock and other times they just need a few things quickly like some snacks for the kids, a bottle of wine for dinner or over-the-counter medication to nurse a headache,” said Chris Rogers, vice president of retail at Instacart, in a statement. “As more people turn to Instacart to help put food on their tables, we’ve seen customer demand for convenience retailers increase over the last year, with convenience orders on Instacart up by more than 350% since last August. To meet this growing demand, we’re proud to expand with 7-Eleven to nearly 6,000 stores, and give customers across the country access to thousands of essential goods they can now have delivered often in as fast as 30 minutes.”
