Winn Dixie is an American department store chain that primarily operates in the southeastern United States. The company is partnered with Instacart, an online grocery delivery service.
In February 2018, Winn Dixie announced that it would be discontinuing its partnership with Instacart. .
According to a study by the Retail Industry Leaders Association, Instacart accounted for 11 percent of all grocery sales at U.S. retailers in 2017. This is up from six percent in 2016.
Instacart has also grown rapidly in other countries, accounting for 20 percent of all grocery sales in the U.K. in 2017.
Winn Dixie has announced that it will be discontinuing its partnership with Instacart in February 2018. This is likely due to the rapid growth of Instacart and the increasing competition that the company faces.
Winn Dixie may be better off partnering with a company that can help the department store compete against the online grocery delivery service.
