Tractor Supply’s Petsense selects Instacart for same-day delivery

Article excerpt

Highlighted: the sentence this signal was extracted from

The pet supply company's exclusive arrangement builds upon Tractor Supply and Instacart's existing relationship. Retailers have been expanding their same-day delivery options by partnering with providers such as Instacart and DoorDash for quite some time. Ulta partnered with Instacart last year to offer customers same-day delivery from over 1,400 stores. More recently, Gap, Kohl's, Barnes & Noble and Carter's partnered with DoorDash to enable shoppers to order and receive goods in a quick timeframe. While Tractor Supply also partners with same-day providers, the retailer is betting big on its own delivery capabilities, too. The company has been advancing an initiative to make more last-mile deliveries in-house. "Final mile remains one of our most compelling growth opportunities with customer adoption continuing to exceed our expectations and economics improving as we scale the business," President and CEO Hal Lawton said in a Q2 earnings call from July. As of April, the retailer aimed to add 176 new hub locations, which bring drivers and inventory from different facilities for deliveries to nearby customers. By scaling its last-mile delivery program, Tractor Supply aims to lower costs per delivery. The company is focused on delivering larger and bulkier items itself, while relying on delivery partners for small and medium-sized items.
