DoorDash has put forward a $17 billion offer to acquire Instacart, a move that would merge two of the biggest names in on-demand delivery into a single grocery and logistics powerhouse, according to PBS NewsHour.
The companies say combining forces would pair DoorDash's sprawling logistics network and global footprint with Instacart's specialized technology and deep, long-standing relationships with grocery retailers.
If completed, the deal would mark a major consolidation in the grocery delivery space, bringing together two services that have each built their business models around getting food and household goods to customers' doors quickly.
