Kroger soon will be using the DashMart Fulfillment Services for delivery 

DoorDash recently announced DashMart Fulfillment Services, a new way for food retailers to strengthen the reach of their products and gain visibility with potential new customers. The model uses DoorDash’s network of DashMart locations to handle the entire process, from inventory management, picking, packing, and delivery by Dashers.

Through DashMart Fulfillment Services, DoorDash manages logistics end-to-end to offer fast, reliable delivery to customers with near-perfect order accuracy. Kroger will soon by using the service, following recent deployment by CVS Pharmacy and Party City already in use, allowing DashMart to offer a wide selection of groceries and household essentials to shoppers nationwide through DashMart Fulfillment Services.

“Today’s consumers expect delivery in minutes, and around the clock,” says Fuad Hannon, Vice President of New Verticals at DoorDash. “For many retailers and grocers, meeting that demand requires massive investment in logistics and technology. That’s where DashMart Fulfillment Services comes in. With DashMart Fulfillment Services, DoorDash gives merchants a turnkey way to sell online and deliver fast. From inventory to delivery, we’ve got it covered for our partners.”

How It Works

DashMart Fulfillment Services is a full-service, flexible solution that allows retailers’ products to be sold on DoorDash or their own channels without the complexity of running their own inventory and delivery operations. Orders are fulfilled directly from DashMart locations, where DoorDash manages inventory, handles picking and packing, and facilitates delivery through its Dasher network. This turnkey model empowers retailers to grow their digital presence and reach more customers without the cost of new infrastructure, inventory management, or technology investments.

Retailers Already On Board

Retailers like CVS Pharmacy and Party City are among the first to adopt DashMart Fulfillment Services, each using the model to solve distinct customer needs, with Kroger to follow soon. Party City now reaches consumers in nearly every major metro area through DashMart Fulfillment Services, making party prep as easy as ordering dinner. DashMart customers can access the same healthcare essentials sold at CVS Pharmacy quickly, even late at night or during holidays, while Kroger shoppers will soon benefit from reliable delivery of everyday groceries and household staples. Together, these retailers highlight the flexibility of DashMart Fulfillment Services to support a wide range of categories and use cases.

Unlocking the Future of Retail

With DashMart Fulfillment Services, DoorDash is helping merchants grow, meet evolving consumer expectations, and unlock new opportunities and reach through its platform. Whether it’s groceries, healthcare essentials, or party supplies, DashMart Fulfillment Services ensures shoppers get what they need, when they need it, from trusted brands they love. Across international markets, Wolt offers a similar model, Wolt Fulfillment, through its own Wolt Market stores.

With more than 100 locations, DashMart is a delivery-focused local store owned, stocked, and operated by DoorDash that offers customers fresh groceries, retail items, household essentials, local favorites, and more delivered right to their doorstep. For local businesses, DashMart offers a new channel to reach more customers in today’s digital era.
