DoorDash adds new retail partners
DoorDash is in an expansion mode with two new partnerships.
The company is partnering with Wakefern Food to offer on-demand grocery delivery from the company’s 365 banner locations. As the nation’s largest retailer-owned cooperative, Wakefern Food Corp. members own and operate banners including ShopRite, Price Rite Marketplace, The Fresh Grocer, Fairway Market, Gourmet Garage and Dearborn Market across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. Whether shoppers are looking for budget-friendly value or hard-to-find products, Wakefern’s family of brands each bring unique value to DoorDash with nearly 120,000 new grocery items available for delivery.
In addition, all Wakefern supermarket banner locations will be available on DashPass, DoorDash’s membership program that offers members reduced service fees and member-only benefits on eligible orders.

“DoorDash strives to be a modern-day one-stop-shop that offers an efficient way to get everything needed for tomorrow’s breakfast, this weekend’s dinner party or today’s missing lunch,” said Tom Pickett, chief revenue officer at DoorDash. “Wakefern is one of our most exciting grocery partnerships to date as it not only brings increased selection to DoorDash Marketplace, but gives time back to a variety of shoppers – from those looking for budget friendly value options to specialty shoppers looking for hard to find high-quality foods.”
“In addition to our own in-house full-service grocery fulfillment offering, DoorDash joins our digital portfolio providing consumers yet another way to shop Wakefern banners. By joining forces with DoorDash, which offers on-demand, fast-delivery of grocery staples and household essentials, we can make grocery shopping even more convenient for our shoppers,” said Mike Stigers, president of Wakefern.
DoorDash also announced expanded grocery delivery services capabilities on the West Coast, partnering with five new grocers to give shoppers on-demand access to essentials from local grocers. From cultural staples to farm-fresh produce, consumers can access delivery from more than 100 (combined) Vallarta Supermarkets, New Seasons Market, Haggen, Mother’s Market and Jimbo’s locations throughout California, Oregon and Washington state.
