Coborn’s Will Stop Deliveries in Metro Area, Redirect Customers to Cub

Coborn’s Inc. announced Thursday that it is discontinuing grocery delivery in the Twin Cities.

The St. Cloud-based supermarket chain will transition its home delivery services to Cub via Instacart starting Aug. 15. At that point, deliveries from a Coborn’s warehouse in New Hope will cease and Coborn’s online customers in the metro will be redirected to Cub’s Shop.cub.com website.

The company wants to focus its delivery and curbside pickup model only in areas where it has stores. Its closest stores to the metro are in Delano, Elk River, Ramsey and Albertville with a total of 62 grocery locations in Minnesota, the Dakotas and Wisconsin.
