INSTACART AND MICHAELS EXPAND PARTNERSHIP TO LAUNCH SAME-DAY DELIVERY ACROSS CANADA
Delivery in as Fast as an Hour Now Available from More than 1,200 Michaels Stores Across North America
SAN FRANCISCO and TORONTO — January 20, 2022 — Instacart, the leading online grocery platform in North America, and Michaels, the largest arts and crafts retailer in North America, today announced an expanded partnership to launch same-day delivery from more than 100 Michaels stores across Canada. As the first specialty arts and crafts retailer on the Instacart platform, customers can now shop from Michaels’ assortment of more than 22,000 items across categories like fine arts, yarn, paper crafts, baking, jewelry-making, and more, delivered in as fast as an hour from over 1,200 locations across North America.
As part of Michaels’ strategy to transform its omnichannel approach, Instacart and Michaels’ national partnership in Canada comes on the heels of a recently expanded nationwide partnership in the U.S. Since the initial U.S. pilot launched in March 2021, Michaels reports that it has seen a significant number of incremental customers shop via Instacart.

Heather Bennett, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Ecommerce at Michaels added, “Michaels is proud to be giving our Makers across North America even more ways to shop and create through our deepened partnership with Instacart. As the first specialty arts and crafts retailer on the platform, this expansion to offer super fast delivery from our stores across Canada is the latest step in our journey to transform our omnichannel approach and support every Maker in bringing their creative dreams to life.”
