Ahold Delhaize USA Adds DoorDash Delivery to All Banners
In an effort to expand its grocery delivery options, Ahold Delhaize USA has struck up a partnership with DoorDash to offer the technology company’s services at each of its banners.
The DoorDash delivery option is already in place for most customers at Giant Food, The Giant Co., Hannaford and Stop & Shop, and Food Lion will pilot with DoorDash in February before an expected full rollout in March. Loyalty programs for each of the food retailer's brands are integrated into the DoorDash experience, and all participating banner stores will also be available on membership program DashPass.
