For a few months now, Price Chopper, Market 32 and Market Bistro customers across the Northeast have been simplifying their lives by experiencing a new, easier way to grocery shop!  Leveraging our partnership with Instacart*, many are clicking online to fill their virtual carts and are having groceries delivered right to their front door.  Delivery has been well received by our customers and we want to thank everyone who has been using the service.  Our delivery service coverage area is expanding regularly!  You can check here to see if we already deliver to your home: https://www.pricechopper.com/we-deliver   But What’s New Now?  Pickup! That’s right.  We are excited to announce that we’ve recently begun to offer a convenient and affordable pickup option at our Market Bistro location in Latham, NY as another way to simplify that hectic schedule of yours. Learn more about this option at https://www.pricechopper.com/pickup Loading Groceries Into Your Car Today (using the same Instacart app used for delivery) you can order your groceries on-line; our Market Bistro employees will gladly do the shopping for you, communicate throughout your order and finish off by loading your items into your car. For just $1.99, this new service will provide the maximum convenience for each and every lifestyle. From the busy soccer mom to the husband that would prefer not to do the shopping, everyone will be satisfied with our grocery pickup experience. Our employees are trained to find the exact product you selected or a comparable item which you may then approve or deny. By downloading the Instacart app you will be able to place your order, track the status of your order, and communicate with your personal shopper. You can chat straight through the app or via text if you need to make a change or forgot to order an item.   Have Fun Shopping Market Bistro Instacart Logo on Instacart The cutting edge technology of Instacart has provided yet another opportunity to make your life easier and brings back a little fun to grocery shopping.  Whether you choose to stay home or stay in your car – grocery delivery or pickup** will afford you more time with family and friends, to cook the meals you are prepping for, and for some much-needed relaxation!
