“DoorDash strives to be a modern-day, one-stop shop that offers an efficient way to get everything needed for tomorrow’s breakfast, this weekend’s dinner party, or today’s missing lunch,” said Tom Pickett, Chief Revenue Officer, DoorDash. “Wakefern is one of our most exciting grocery partnerships to date as it not only brings increased selection to DoorDash Marketplace but gives time back to a variety of shoppers—from those looking for budget-friendly value options to specialty shoppers looking for hard-to-find, high-quality foods.”

With this new service available to Wakefern’s banners, this provides greater—and easier—access to fresh produce, which could lead to greater consumption.
