DoorDash Gains a Major Supermarket Client for Deliveries
Food delivery company DoorDash (NYSE: DASH) has apparently landed a deal with Albertsons Companies (NYSE: ACI), a major grocery and supermarket company whose chains include more than 2,700 stores, making it second in size only to Kroger (NYSE: KR) in the USA. Albertsons operates approximately 18 different chains, with major names among these including Safeway, Vons, Shaw's, Albertsons, Acme Markets, and Jewel-Osco.
According to reporting by SFGATE, Albertsons will start using DoorDash's delivery services for Safeway and Vons locations on Feb. 27. The supermarket company will also begin laying off delivery drivers for these chains. An Albertsons representative, Wendy Gutshall, said the move "will allow us to compete in the growing home delivery market more effectively" and that the new strategy resulted from "a great deal of consideration."
