Ahold Delhaize USA offering DoorDash delivery
Ahold Delhaize USA announced a new agreement with DoorDash to make an additional on-demand grocery delivery marketplace available to customers at each of its local omnichannel brands – Food Lion, Hannaford, Giant Food, The Giant Company and Stop & Shop.
Delivery from DoorDash is expected to be available to customers of all brands by March.
“As leading omnichannel grocery retailers in their markets, Ahold Delhaize USA brands are focused on providing fast and convenient grocery delivery for customers. The addition of DoorDash as a marketplace partner for our companies is very exciting,” said JJ Fleeman, CEO of Ahold Delhaize USA. “The speed and ease of DoorDash and its strong reputation for providing great customer service aligns with the priorities of each of our local brands. We look forward to delivering this new option for customers of our local brands – as well as new customers through DoorDash – and leveraging this partnership to enable our brands as they continue to drive omnichannel growth.”
DoorDash is available in nearly all markets served by Ahold Delhaize USA brands, and the service is already live for most customers at Giant Food, The Giant Company, Hannaford and Stop & Shop. Food Lion will pilot with DoorDash in February and expects to launch in its markets in March. Through the new partnership, the local brands of Ahold Delhaize USA will add to the 100,000+ non-restaurant stores already on DoorDash’s Marketplace and Drive platforms across North America.
