Convenience is top of mind for shoppers today, and Wegmans Food Markets has heard the message. The retailer strengthened its alliance with DoorDash, making grocery delivery available at all Maryland Wegmans locations, as well as stores in Virginia, North Carolina, New Jersey, Delaware, and upstate New York.
“DoorDash has been a great partner for our Meals 2GO program, and expanding our offering to include grocery delivery allows us to meet our customers where they are,” said Erica Tickle, Wegmans Vice President of Marketing and Digital Growth. “Our goal is to make meals easy and help our customers live healthier, better lives through exceptional food. Expanding our delivery network is just one way we’re able to continue delivering on that mission.”
As Tickle alluded to, the expanded delivery network is an extension of the existing partnership between DoorDash and Wegmans Meals 2GO.
Since launching on-demand grocery delivery in 2020, DoorDash has continued to support grocers with innovative tools and technology to bolster their reach with both new and loyal shoppers.
“As noted recently, DoorDash’s grocery business is growing fast with consumers that order from new verticals recently reaching all-time highs. This is in large part due to our commitment to bring the best of every local community online, and Wegmans embodies that,” said Fuad Hannon, Vice President of New Verticals at DoorDash. “Wegmans offers quality foods and a top-notch grocery store experience. We’re proud to help extend their brand to the DoorDash Marketplace and provide the tools and technology to serve customers in a new way.”
