DoorDash expands Canadian retail offering with Pet Valu, Miniso, and Mastermind Toys additions
DoorDash is expanding its retail selection in Canada with three new partnerships bringing Pet Valu, Miniso, and Mastermind Toys to the platform.
It says that the move reflects the continued shift of consumers seeking on demand delivery across categories beyond restaurants and grocery.
"We’re always looking for ways to make our customers’ experience even better, by bringing together the right tools, features, and partners that make shopping with us simple and enjoyable,” says Khalid Aberhouch, CEO at Miniso Canada
“Teaming up with DoorDash is an exciting step forward, giving our customers faster and easier access to their favorite Miniso products and the latest collaboration items whenever they want. We’re excited to bring even joy and fun to more people this holiday season."
“Holiday gifting is at the heart of what we do at Mastermind Toys,” says Danielle Bazely, Senior Director of Marketing at Mastermind Toys. “For more than four decades, we’ve helped families discover presents that feel personal, playful, and memorable during the most magical time of the year.”
“Our partnership with DoorDash brings that expertise closer than ever, offering time-pressed families a new level of convenience and letting Canadians bypass the holiday rush with joyful, expertly curated gifts delivered right to their doorstep,” says Danielle Bazely, Senior Director of Marketing, Mastermind Toys
"We know how important it is for devoted pet lovers to spend quality time with their pets so we’re always exploring new ways to simplify their lives, particularly during the busy holiday season. By teaming up with DoorDash, we’re providing busy pet parents with another way to conveniently get the quality products their pets require while giving them more time in their busy days to spend doing the things they love,” comments Tanbir Grover, Chief Marketing and Digital Officer at Pet Valu.
2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS
On demand delivery was a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.
We received a record number of entries and many fantastic examples of the continued resilience and dynamism of the retail space during hugely challenging times.
For a full rundown of all of the shortlisted entries, click here.
Our 2025 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The HAC in Central London on 16th October and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award winning comedian, actress and writer Tiff Stevenson.
In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “This is the awards’ fifth year as a physical event. We started off with just 30 people at the South Place Hotel not far from here, then moved to London Bridge Hotel, then The Barbican, and last year RIBA’s HQ in the West End.”
“But I’m conscious of the fact that, to quote the legend that is Taylor Swift, You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby. So, this year we’ve moved to our biggest venue yet, and also pulled in our largest number of entries to date and broken attendance records.”
He added: “This year’s submissions have without doubt been our best yet. To quote one of the judges: The examples of innovative developments across both traditional and digital retail spaces were truly remarkable.”
Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Tiff Stevenson, and all those who attended our 2025 gathering.
