What grocery options does DoorDash offer?
Since early spring, DoorDash has partnered with a handful of convenience stores and grocery chains across the U.S. and Canada, including 7-Eleven, Circle K, Wawa, and Casey's General Store. Customers will be able to choose from whatever stores are available in their delivery area, but this opens up 1,000s of options to DoorDash's growing clientele. I only have access to 7-Eleven where I live, but I'm happy that it's now available to me!
According to support documents on DoorDash's website, the company appears to be piloting more extensive partnerships with larger grocery chains like Central Market in Dallas, and Walmart in other parts of the United States. I look forward to seeing these options being rolled out to a broader audience soon, as I happen to live close to both of these grocery stores.
According to another report by trade publication Supermarket News, DoorDash is working with through its white-label logistics program to source delivery for other grocery chains like Piggly Wiggly, Hy-Vee, and others. It will be interesting to see how this business arm develops over the coming year.
