DoorDash (DASH) Expands Marketplace With Save Mart Companies

DoorDash DASH recently entered into a partnership with the Save Mart Companies to bring Save Mart, Lucky and FoodMaxx shops to its DoorDash Marketplace.

The partnership will provide consumers in California and Nevada access to Save Mart, Lucky and FoodMaxx on DoorDash, allowing them to have groceries delivered to their door the same day in under an hour on average.

In 2020, DoorDash introduced on-demand grocery delivery, giving grocers the tools and technology to reach new and loyal customers wherever and however they choose to purchase.

DoorDash's membership program, DashPass, which doesn’t charge its members any delivery costs from thousands of restaurants, grocery stores and convenience stores nationwide, will include the participating Save Mart, Lucky and FoodMaxx stores. The benefit will be available to DashPass users on all eligible orders of $35 or more from Save Mart, Lucky and FoodMaxx locations.

The company also announced that users will soon be able to access and purchase SNAP-eligible grocery products from these businesses on DoorDash using their SNAP/EBT card.
