The American food distributor and grocery store SpartanNash announced Tuesday its partnership with food-tech company DoorDash to expand its grocery services across digital and physical platforms.
This union will allow SpartanNash to offer on-demand grocery delivery from over 100 SpartanNash-owned stores, including Family Fare, Martin’s Super Markets, and more. Additionally, SpartanNash’s 2,100 independent retail customers will be able to use the DoorDash app, website, and DoorDash Drive, to offer on-demand grocery delivery direct to consumers.
"Customer-centric innovation is a key priority to drive growth at SpartanNash and joining forces with DoorDash will enable us to expand our customer base and capture more of the grocery retail market by rapidly scaling our digital offering with a leading partner," said SpartanNash President and CEO Tony Sarsam in a statement. "We know our customers' grocery needs well and have the supply chain and retail footprint to provide strategic service based on their preferences. This partnership with DoorDash complements our collective strengths and will drive growth across the food ecosystem--from food distribution to eCommerce--to deliver the ingredients for a better life."
The partnership will also enable Spartan Nash to serve as a distributor of pantry and household goods to DoorDash DashMart locations. This initiative will begin in New York City, with plans to scale to other locations.
