DoorDash and Albertsons announce rapid grocery delivery tie up

On-demand delivery platform, DoorDash, has introduced an express grocery delivery service in partnership with Albertsons Companies.

As part of the launch, consumers in more than 20 cities across the US, including Los Angeles, Denver, and Seattle, will now be able to access the service from their local Albertsons Cos. banner stores including Safeway, Vons, ACME Markets, Jewel-Osco, and Tom Thumb in 30 minutes or less via the DoorDash marketplace.

DoorDash plans to expand the offering to additional Albertsons Cos. banners in the coming weeks.

Albertsons Cos. will offer more than 6,000 items.

"We know that speed, selection, and affordability remain paramount for consumers when it comes to getting everything in their neighbourhood delivered on-demand, and that's why we're proud to launch our new express grocery delivery service with Albertsons to bring their wide selection of groceries to consumers' doorsteps in under 30 minutes," says Fuad Hannon, Vice President of New Verticals at DoorDash.

"Leveraging our extensive logistics network and Albertsons Cos. selection of groceries, we are creating a one stop shop for consumers nationwide to access all the items they need, delivered to their doorstep right when they need it.”

“DoorDash's merchant-first approach guides how we build our products and services and today's launch of express grocery delivery furthers our commitment to helping Albertsons grow their delivery offerings to meet evolving customer needs."

"By partnering with DoorDash, Albertsons Cos. is able to offer even faster delivery to go alongside the quality products and great value we provide our customers," says Stephen Menaquale, Senior Vice President of E-commerce at Albertsons Companies.

"We're proud of what we've built with DoorDash in order to guarantee the perfect mix of convenience, quality and the prices our customers appreciate."
