/PRNewswire/ -- The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR), America's grocer, and Instacart (NASDAQ: CART), the leading grocery technology company in North America, today announced a new way for customers to get groceries and eligible prescriptions* delivered in one order directly through Kroger's websites and apps.
Grocery & Prescription Delivery is now available across nearly all Kroger banners nationwide, including Fred Meyer, Ralphs and Harris Teeter. The Instacart-powered capability connects customers to delivery from more than 2,200 Kroger pharmacy locations.
As families prepare for the busy back-to-school season, the new delivery option removes one more item on the to-do list by combining groceries and eligible prescriptions into a single, convenient order. Eligible prescriptions are filled and verified by Kroger pharmacy teams before being delivered directly from the store by an Instacart shopper, ensuring customers continue to receive the care from the pharmacy team they know and trust, with prescriptions secured in tamper-resistant packaging for added peace of mind.
How it works
When an eligible prescription is ready, pharmacy customers receive a notification.
Customers can combine prescriptions and groceries into a single delivery order through Kroger Family of Store's websites or mobile apps.
To add an eligible prescription, customers must be signed in and connected to their My Prescriptions account. Customers can either:
Add groceries to an eligible prescription order or
Add an eligible prescription to a grocery order already in progress.
Kroger Family of Pharmacy teams fill and verify eligible prescriptions.
Once verified, the order is delivered by an Instacart shopper directly to the customer's door from their local store.
Customers can choose the delivery option that works best for them, whether they'd like their prescription handed directly to them or left at their door.
"At Kroger, we're committed to making it easier for our customers to take care of their health and their families," said Colleen Lindholz, president of Kroger Health. "This new service combines the convenience of grocery delivery with the personalized care provided by our pharmacy teams. Customers have groceries and eligible prescriptions delivered together, knowing their prescriptions are filled and verified by the trusted Kroger pharmacy teams who serve their communities every day."
"Grocery delivery has always been about removing friction from people's lives, and picking up a prescription is one of the most important errands customers manage," said Ryan Hamburger, chief commercial officer at Instacart. "Together with Kroger, we're making it easier for customers to access groceries and pharmacy services in one order, bringing greater convenience to everyday life while preserving the trusted pharmacy experience customers depend on."
The new delivery option reinforces Kroger's commitment to meeting customers where they are, whether in store or online, with convenient access to food, pharmacy services and everyday essentials they need.
For Boost by Kroger Plus members, the new service is even more convenient, offering members exclusive discounts, 2x Points, streaming options and free grocery and prescription delivery on eligible orders. Customers can learn more about Boost memberships at
