Grocers matching store prices on Instacart grew 10 points faster, Instacart says

Grocers matching store prices on Instacart grew 10 points faster, Instacart says

Instacart says it named five grocers as "among" this year’s no-markup adopters, including Grocery Outlet. Using its internal data through Q2 2026, Instacart reports no-markup retailers grew 10 percentage points faster than those charging a markup. Participating grocers also get placement in a dedicated in-app "no markups" tab.

  • 01On Instacart, matching store prices earns a yellow banner and placement in a filtered "no markups" tab; Instacart’s internal data through Q2 2026 shows no-markup retailers grew 10 percentage points faster than those charging a markup.
  • 02The 10-point gap compares grocers that chose parity with grocers that didn't, so it can't separate the effect of pricing from the kind of retailer that opts in first. The sharper question is how retailers with similar baskets fared before and after they switched.
  • 03Parity covers item prices only. Service fees still apply, so the app price-to-shelf-tag comparison evens out while convenience charges remain their own line on the receipt.

Suja's CEO says wellness drinks win in produce, not center store

Suja's CEO says wellness drinks win in produce, not center store

Suja Life CEO Maria Stipp argues better-for-you beverages win or lose based on store placement, with the produce department offering an advantage over crowded center aisles by signaling freshness alongside organic produce. She pairs this with packaging guardrails around organic, low sugar and function, plus a commitment of roughly 10% of net revenue to full-funnel marketing aimed at building trust.

  • 01Suja’s cold-pressed, HPP-treated juices can move from partner farms to shelf in eight days, a cadence Stipp says matches how produce buyers operate.
  • 02Average retailers carry only low-teens SKUs even as Suja reaches 37,000 retailers and 400,000+ distribution points; Stipp says closing the SKU gap in existing accounts is a bigger growth priority than chasing new logos
  • 03Suja allocates roughly 10% of net revenue to full-funnel marketing—unusual in the next-gen category—to drive awareness and conversion through omnichannel tools

Deloitte: Holiday e-commerce to reach up to $319B in 2026–27

Deloitte: Holiday e-commerce to reach up to $319B in 2026–27

Deloitte forecasts U.S. holiday e-commerce of $316.1 billion to $318.9 billion for November 2026 through January 2027, up 7.5% to 8.4%. Total retail is projected to grow 4% to 4.8% to about $1.7 trillion. The faster online growth rate is a planning input for fulfillment staffing and site readiness.

  • 01Last season's total holiday sales grew 4.1% by Census Bureau count, above the 2.9% to 3.4% range Deloitte had forecast in fall 2025.
  • 02Deloitte's 2025 survey found 33% of U.S. consumers expected to use generative AI somewhere in their holiday shopping; product data quality now matters for machine readers as well as human ones.
  • 03Adobe's and Salesforce's holiday projections landed in late September and October last year, so the next two to six weeks should bring corroborating or conflicting numbers to plan against.
