Publix Responds to New Way to Shop
During the past 18 months, customers both individual and institutional have changed their purchasing habits, with far more choosing to shop from home than to visit the market. While home delivery was a necessity during the COVID-19 pandemic, it seems to be a convenience that’s here to stay. With more people now working from home than ever before, the need for prompt and reliable grocery delivery is more critical than ever. Publix and Instacart understand these changes and by partnering together have made it possible for even more people in their home region to get fresh groceries right to their door. Now with Publix groceries delivered, Powered by Instacart, Publix hopes to reach even more people through assisted living and managed communities, apartment complexes, hospitality facilities, colleges, vacation properties, and other businesses.
