Why? I don't think most grocery stores have a ton of IT resources or talent. I used Kroger's home delivery service off and on for years, and the UX was first horrible and then only slightly less horrible. And, in 2017, as far as I can tell, still has no mobile client.

An instacart acquisition, where you get the whole infrastructure, would seem pretty appealing.
