Our reading
Instacart is reportedly considering selling itself, which is a bold move for a company that’s already mastered the art of making grocery shopping feel like a luxury. The fact that they’re talking to DoorDash and Uber suggests they’re not just trying to save time—they’re trying to save face. It’s like a group project where everyone’s trying to be the leader, but no one wants to do the work. And if they do sell, it’ll be interesting to see if the new owners can figure out why people still use the app. Maybe they’ll just rename it ‘Instacart 2.0’ and call it a day.
