Picture this: it’s been a ridiculously long day.

You are tired, your feet hurt, and all you want is your pajamas and a cup of tea.

But wait! You need groceries in the worst way or you may find your children foraging for nuts and pinecones when you get home.

Hauling your tired body out of the car and pushing a shopping cart around, even if the store is as beautiful and well-stocked as Cub Foods in Brainerd and Baxter, is just not in your wheelhouse tonight.

Cub Foods Grocery Delivery in Brainerd and Baxter, MN

Cub Foods, owned by Eden Prairie-based Supervalu, launched its new grocery delivery service June 14 to a wave on enthusiastic local customers.

This long-awaited service has come to fruition after countless months of research and negotiation.

The result is a partnership between the Metro-based fulfillment company, Instacart, and all Minnesota Cub Foods. Instacart will be handling the staffing and coordination of deliveries, allowing Cub Foods to retain its focus of a stellar in-store shopping experience.

Patterned after the idea of personal shoppers, Instacart employees (locally hired team members) view and fill orders that customers place online. Instacart team members are highly trained in customer service and how to select the best produce and cuts of meat. They are also equipped with professional gear to ensure that a customer’s food items stay cold and ice cream doesn’t arrive melted!

Same Great Cub Prices, Online or In Store

It’s also important to note that Cub Foods competitive pricing is the same whether groceries are bought through the new online delivery portal or in the store.

“Instacart uploads our pricing file every day, ” shared Chris Quisberg, Baxter and Brainerd Cub Foods President. “So our customers are paying the same price for the products they buy online as they would if they came into the store and pulled items off the shelves themselves.”

For those who want to give this new service a try, delivery is free for the first Instacart order. After that, delivery costs start at just $5.99 for a two-hour or scheduled delivery with a purchase of $35 or more or $9.99 if the order is under $35. There is a $10 order minimum on all orders.

Customers also have the option to purchase an “Express Membership” as well and details can be found on Cub’s website here. There is also an option to tip your Instacart team member before and after the delivery; a completely optional (but appreciated!) choice.

Cub Food’s Decision to Offer Online Grocery Delivery

“We know time is money and we want to not only continue to give our Up North customers the best deals on groceries possible, we want to save them time with this new delivery service,” Chris added.

“Home delivery of groceries is not just for seniors or those strictly homebound. Before we committed to this program, we researched and saw that this service was very popular with working parents, single moms and college students. Anyone who would like to free up time during their busy day or wants to make life easier is going to love Cub’s new grocery delivery. We still look forward to seeing and greeting our loyal customers when they shop us in person, but we are also very proud to offer this option to the Lakes Area residents.”

What is Cub Foods Delivery Range?

After a bit of research and consulting with Mr. Quisberg, the best thing we can tell Cub Foods customers is to go to shop.cub.com and enter their zip code and it will right away tell them immediately if they are in the range of grocery delivery.

Other Reasons Cub Foods is Awesome

Cub Foods has also been nominated in 5 categories for the Brainerd Dispatch’s, “Best of the Brainerd Lakes” competition. To learn more details go here to get the scoop (and vote!), but here are their nominated categories:

  • Best grocery store
  • Best pharmacy
  • Best bakery
  • Best customer service
  • Best florist

These nominations come as no surprise since this powerhouse company has been a grocery leader in the Lakes Area since their Brainerd location opened in 1987 (then called County Market) and the Baxter location four years later.
