Instacart To Build Its Own Warehouses For Grocery Deliveries

As more people have regained comfort with shopping for groceries in stores, the biggest name in online grocery delivery is seeking a new edge.

Instacart will begin creating its own network of distribution centers over the next 12 months in a partnership with warehouse automation firm Fabric, The Wall Street Journal reports. The warehouses will store 10,000 to 50,000 items and use automation to sort orders, which would then be picked up by drivers for home delivery.
