Grocery Delivery

Grocery delivery app Tiggy has stopped operations in Vancouver and Toronto.

The Vancouver-based startup offered grocery delivery services in parts of the two cities. BIV reported earlier this week the company stopped operations in North Vancouver and Toronto. However, the app now shows services aren’t available in any part of either city.

A message stating a temporary closure pops up on the screen after selecting an address for delivery. “Will open soon,” the message reads.

“Unfortunately, we have temporarily closed our stores in Toronto and Vancouver. When we resume our work, we will post it in our social networks [sic],” a spokesperson from Tiggy told MobileSyrup.

Customers with urgent requests, including questions about refunds, can email support@gotiggy.com.

Tiggy launched in Vancouver in September and expanded its services to Toronto about five months ago.

Instacart has announced a partnership with more than ten new retailers to make same-day delivery more accessible across Canada.

Retailers like Metro, Giant Tiger, Galleria Supermarket and more are included. Additionally, Instacart is also partnering with the top five grocers in Canada, including Costco, Loblaws and Walmart.

Now, same-day delivery via Instacart is available in about 90 percent of Canadian households in all ten provinces.

Customers in Ontario can now shop at other locations like Popeye’s Supplements, Healthy Planet, Dolce & Gourmondo, Nature’s Emporium, Super Natural Market, Grande Cheese Markets, Dollarama and more.

“At Instacart, we’re proud to deepen our presence across Canada and serve as a retail enablement platform for key retailers countrywide, from the largest grocers to small businesses and local favourites,” said Chris Rogers, vice president of retail at Instacart, in a recent press release.

The Instacart app is available on the App Store and the Play Store.
