SAN FRANCISCO and TORONTO, July 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Instacart, the North American leader in online grocery, and Costco today announced the companies have partnered to launch same-day delivery from 76 Costco warehouses across Canada.

With this launch, we're extending the reach of Costco in Canada and making it possible for Costco members and non-members alike to access same-day delivery of Costco's broad selection of groceries and goods."
