Loblaw expands DoorDash partnership with on-demand delivery

Loblaw is offering its customers more delivery options with DoorDash.

In addition to the PC Express app, orders from more than 1,100 Loblaw banners (including Loblaws, Shoppers Drug Mart, Real Canadian Superstore, Atlantic Superstore, Provigo and Maxi & Cie) can be placed on the DoorDash Marketplace app. 

Loblaw will offer more than 50,000 grocery and convenience items from its stores for delivery, including fresh and prepared food, grocery, floral, drugstore essentials and convenience items.

DoorDash will also power same-day delivery from PC Express through its fulfillment platform, DoorDash Drive.

In June, the companies partnered to offer customers in some Canadian cities with a rapid grocery delivery (30 minutes or less) via PC Express. 

"Online grocery has changed. It is not a one-size fits all solution. Customers are looking for varying levels of convenience – orders within minutes, shopping from favourite apps and a seamless experience," said Galen G. Weston, president and chairman, Loblaw Companies Ltd, in a statement. "DoorDash brings best-in-class logistics expertise and operational excellence to our extensive relationship, which makes them the ideal strategic partner for us to address our evolving needs as we look to get consumers exactly what they want when they want it."
