DoorDash Introduces On-Demand Grocery Delivery

DoorDash has been working to expand the products and services it offers to local businesses so that customers can access more of their favorite stores and everyday family needs on-demand. The company announced its entry into Convenience earlier this year with partners such as Casey’s, 7-Eleven, Circle K, Wawa, CVS Pharmacy and Walgreens, and the company is continuing to add more types of stores onto the platform that provide a new level of convenience to customers.

DoorDash announced it has partnered with grocery stores across the country, launching grocery delivery through the DoorDash app for the first. Time. Customers in the Bay Area, Los Angeles, Orange County, Sacramento, San Diego and the Central Coast can order from Smart & Final. Meijer and Fresh Thyme are available to customers in the Chicago, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Detroit and Indianapolis. In the coming weeks, DoorDash is adding selection across the country with grocers such as Hy-Vee, Gristedes/D’agostino and more—providing more than 75 million Americans access to a grocery store on DoorDash.

“DoorDash provides another convenient way for customers to get the value, selection and quality that Smart & Final offers, especially at a time when some are looking to limit trips outside their homes,” said Navin Cotton, Director of Digital Commerce, Smart & Final. “DoorDash’s on-demand grocery service is a nice addition to our online shopping options and with delivery in under an hour, we know Smart & Final customers are going to appreciate it.”

Today’s launch follows a multi-year journey in grocery with DoorDash Drive offering, the company’s white-label fulfillment product that powers direct delivery for grocery chains including Walmart, Hy-Vee and Coborn’s, as well as many regional and local grocery stores across the country.

“This latest announcement by DoorDash is another tool that allows our customers timely access to the fresh offerings that we provide at Hy-Vee,” said Tom Crocker, Hy-Vee’s SVP, E-Commerce. “In today’s ever-changing environment, customers want quality products delivered in an efficient manner straight to their homes. This new service helps us grow our grocery business while meeting the needs of our shoppers who are on-the-go.”
