Kroger partners with DoorDash to offer quick and convenient grocery delivery across the country.

Starting on October 1, nearly 2,700 Kroger stores will be available on DoorDash, offering customers access to fresh and affordable groceries in as little as an hour. DoorDash, a prominent figure in local commerce worldwide, and The Kroger Co., known as America’s grocer, have decided to further their partnership. This expansion will allow Kroger to provide its entire grocery range, including fresh produce, exclusive Our Brands products, and essential everyday items to customers across the country.

Customers are increasingly seeking the convenience of on-demand delivery and value from their favorite local grocery stores. Kroger has been a highly requested grocer on DoorDash and one of the most searched for. Starting October 1, customers will have the ability to browse through Kroger’s wide-ranging grocery selection, which includes fresh foods, household essentials, and their popular Our Brand products. This service will be available across various Kroger banners such as Mariano’s, Fred Meyer, Ralphs, and Harris Teeter. Along with fast delivery, customers can expect the same Kroger deals, everyday affordability, and loyalty program discounts through the DoorDash app seamlessly.

Yael Cosset, the Executive Vice President and Chief Digital Officer for Kroger, expressed, “Customers are looking for more convenient ways to shop at their local Kroger store, and delivery is an increasingly important way they engage with us. We want to provide customers what they want, how they want it, without asking them to compromise on value.” He also mentioned that the integration of lower prices and better offers will not only attract more customers but will also enhance Kroger’s retail media business.

Prabir Adarkar, the President, and Chief Operating Officer of DoorDash, added, “With Kroger now on DoorDash nationwide, millions of customers can shop the largest grocer on our platform with the convenience of on-demand delivery.” This partnership reflects the companies’ commitment to offering households more choices, value, and convenience when it comes to grocery shopping.

The collaboration between Kroger and DoorDash will bring in new customers and cater to new shopping occasions. DoorDash customers, seeking fresh groceries and household essentials, can now directly shop Kroger’s Family of Stores on the DoorDash platform. The companies will also work on introducing joint innovations, starting with retail media and insights for brand partners, to engage customers more effectively.

DoorDash initiated on-demand grocery delivery in 2020 and has been providing grocers with tools and technology to connect with new and returning customers effectively. The expanded relationship with Kroger signals an advancement in making fresh food more accessible, making delivery a seamless part of the everyday shopping experience. Delivery times may vary, so customers are advised to check the app for estimated delivery times.
