DoorDash Now Offers Grocery Deliveries
DoorDash has become the most poplar food delivery service in the United States. DoorDash earned 46% of U.S. consumers’ meal delivery sales in July 2020, with Uber Eats coming in second place with just over 23%.
But DoorDash has expanded beyond just food deliveries from restaurants. Recently they added the option to order deliveries from convenient stores and now they are getting into the grocery delivery game as well.
DoorDash has partnered with multiple regional grocers across the country, including Smart & Final, Meijer and Fresh Thyme, to offer on-demand grocery delivery. D’agostino, Gristedes and Hy-Vee will join the platform in the coming weeks.
“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 senior vice president, 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.”
You can also order ready to heat, or ready to eat meals from supermarkets, depending on your location. Wegmans, Hy-Vee, Gelson’s, Kowalski’s, Big Y World Class Markets, Food City, Village Supermarkets, Save Mart, Lucky, Lucky California, Coborn’s, and more will provide these options for millions of Americans.
“We promise to ‘make great meals easy,’ and it doesn’t get any easier than this,” says Erica Tickle, Wegmans eCommerce Director. “What’s unique about Wegmans Meals 2GO is the variety of delicious menu options. Since teaming up with DoorDash last year, we listened and learned, and fine-tuned a menu that has something for everyone at home or at work. We’re excited to expand our partnership with DoorDash by bringing our restaurant-quality meals to the DoorDash Marketplace.”
For now the options are limited to the coverage area of these chains, but as more stores are added, 75 million people in the United States will have access to a grocery store on DoorDash.
All of these grocery partners are also available for DashPass members, which means that they are eligible for unlimited free delivery fees and reduced service fees. That service costs $9.99 per month. Chase cardholders get DoorDash benefits such as free DashPass and $60 DoorDash credit.
To get your groceries in under an hour, look for a banner at the top of the DoorDash app to discover grocery stores offering delivery near you. DoorDash has also enabled contactless delivery to ensure a safe and seamless experience for every customer.
The grocery delivery option might not show up for everyone yet, but keep an eye out in the app to see if any local chains become available soon.
