DoorDash launches express delivery at Albertsons Companies stores
Food delivery service DoorDash has announced its latest expansion, allowing shoppers faster access to store brands from Albertsons Companies. The new express grocery delivery is available at more than 330 Albertsons banner stores and delivers items to customers in 30 minutes or less.
The announcement is DoorDash’s first major move of the year, following a 2021 where the service expanded to Southeastern Grocers stores, JCPenney, Sally Beauty and more. Albertsons banners where Doordash users can find the express delivery include Albertsons, Safeway, Vons, ACME Markets and more.
“We know that speed, selection, and affordability remain paramount for consumers when it comes to getting everything in their neighborhood 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," said 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.”
To place an order, consumers with express grocery delivery service available in their area can either search for "rapid grocery" stores on the DoorDash app or click the grocery tile on the DoorDash homepage and select the filter for "under 30 min."
DoorDash's membership program offers members $0 delivery fees and reduced service fees from thousands of restaurants, grocery, convenience, and retail stores nationwide, now including Albertsons. DashPass members can enjoy these benefits with a subtotal of $12 or more from Albertsons Cos.
"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," said Stephen Menaquale, SVP of eCommerce 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."
