The Bay continues its digital transformation with Instacart collaboration to meet ‘get-it-now’ customer demand


(TORONTO, ON) September 15, 2022 — The Bay, Canada’s leading destination for life and style, is excited to partner with Instacart to bring its beauty and home assortment to Greater Toronto Area shoppers via the Instacart App. Available today, nearly 10,000 home and beauty products from The Bay will be accessible, from brands customers know and love. Beauty products comprise cosmetics, skin care, and beauty tools, including brands like Estee Lauder, Dyson, and Dior. Home products, from bedding and linens to kitchen essentials, are available from brands including GlucksteinHome, Breville, and Maxwell & Williams.

At launch, the assortment available through the Instacart App will serve customers across the GTA - from Oshawa in the East to Burlington in the West, and North up to Keswick, Ontario - with delivery available in as fast as an hour.

Following the GTA launch, the company plans to expand to additional markets across the country.
