SAN FRANCISCO, June 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- DoorDash (NYSE: DASH), the nation's leading last-mile
logistics platform, and Albertsons Companies (NYSE: ACI),
one of the nation's top grocers, are announcing a new partnership
to offer on-demand grocery delivery from nearly 2,000
well-known Albertsons banner stores across the country including
Safeway, Vons, Jewel-Osco, and more from the DoorDash marketplace
app.
As expectations for convenience, speed and ease continue to
grow, consumers can now order groceries and essentials
on-demand for delivery within an hour through DoorDash's top-rated
marketplace with no time slot, queues or minimum order size
required. Albertsons will offer more than 40,000 grocery items
from stores for delivery via DoorDash, including fresh and prepared
food, core grocery, floral and convenience items at select
stores.
Whether shopping for a week's worth of groceries, including
dairy, eggs, bread, local produce, fresh meat and seafood, or
grabbing a few fresh ingredients for the perfect weeknight meal,
consumers can shop right on the DoorDash app to fulfill all of
their grocery needs conveniently, quickly and affordably. In
addition, in select markets, customers can order groceries through
their local Albertsons Cos. store's website for same-day delivery
powered through DoorDash Drive, DoorDash's white-label fulfillment
platform that powers direct delivery for any business.
"Consumers' desire to get everything in their neighborhood
on-demand has increased dramatically. We are thrilled to partner
with Albertsons, one of the largest food and drug retailers in the
world, as they expand their already strong local footprint beyond
their four walls to offer consumers convenient access to
on-demand grocery delivery," said Fuad
Hannon, Head of New Verticals at DoorDash.
"Leveraging our extensive logistics network and Albertsons wide
selection of fresh groceries, we are creating a one-stop shop for
customers to access any of the essentials they need, delivered to
their doorstep within an hour."
"We are committed to expanding our delivery experience in order
to meet our customers' needs whenever, wherever and however they
want," said Chris Rupp, Chief
Customer and Digital Officer, Albertsons Companies. "Our
partnership with DoorDash is the next step in our digital
transformation to help make our customers' lives easier and help
answer the perennial question, 'What's for dinner tonight?'"
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 specialty items, prepared
meals, meal kits and new concepts.
In addition, DoorDash and Albertsons Cos. are offering
a first-ever digital gaming experience, giving users the
chance to play and score savings on future grocery orders. Users
can now play "In The Bag", an interactive and exciting digital
video game that prompts users to place as many fresh grocery
staples as possible—including apples, asparagus, milk, and
avocados— into a virtual DoorDash grocery bag before reaching the
top and running out of space. The more groceries you can fit into
your grocery bag, the more you save with promotions per tiered
score with a top scorer having the chance to win a $5,000 credit* toward purchases on DoorDash.
In celebration of the new partnership, starting today,
June 21, 2021 through June 30, 2021, customers can get 40% off (up to
$40 off) with code GROCERY on their
first Albertsons grocery order.**

membership program that offers members unlimited $0 delivery fees and reduced service fees from
thousands of restaurants, grocery, and convenience stores
nationwide. DashPass members can enjoy these benefits on all
eligible orders of $25 or more from

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 neighborhood. DoorDash has partnered with
local and national household names across industries including
convenience, grocery, pets, retail and pharmacy delivery.
Albertsons Cos. has made numerous strides in digital
transformation this past year, with digital sales growth up 258% in

operations, enhancing online delivery nationwide and offering
