DoorDash has agreed to acquire grocery delivery company Instacart for $17 billion, creating a combined platform for everyday goods delivery. The deal unites two of the largest U.S. delivery services under a single operator.
The merger aims to expand DoorDash's reach beyond restaurant meals into grocery and household essentials, leveraging Instacart's retailer partnerships and technology. Regulatory approval will be required before the transaction closes.
