The partnership includes both immediate and long-term initiatives, including supporting the expansion of Albertsons’ first-party grocery delivery business with DoorDash Drive, launching a custom loyalty program, expanding delivery hours, and offering a unique selection including speciality items prepared meals, meal kits and new concepts.

Today’s announcement builds upon DoorDash’s expansion into new categories beyond food in service of helping local businesses extend beyond their four walls while connecting consumers with all the best in their local neighbourhood.
