DoorDash is partnering to bring on-demand delivery to all Aldi locations across 38 states, giving more than 98 percent of DoorDash monthly users access to a non-restaurant store.
Consumers can now shop for Aldi grocery products via the DoorDash app and website. For Aldi, the deal offers its customers a fully developed delivery platform.
“By partnering with DoorDash, we can conveniently bring our award-winning, fresh and affordable groceries to even more of our customers’ doors with the click of a button,” said Scott Patton, vice president of national buying at ALDI, in a press release. “Whether shopping for a weekly grocery haul or in need of a few extra ingredients for tonight’s dinner, our customers now have another way to shop ALDI for all their grocery needs.”
DoorDash noted that Aldi was one of its "most highly requested grocers."
“Our partnership with ALDI provides customers access to the retailer’s affordable staples and cult favorites with the speed and reliability of DoorDash," said Fuad Hannon, vice president of new verticals at DoorDash. "Additionally, consumers can consolidate all their shopping needs from fresh foods to household essentials on DoorDash as their one-stop shop.”
DoorDash started offering on-demand grocery delivery in 2020. It now provides delivery services for 100,000 non-restaurant stores.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said Thursday that the majority of iPhones sold in the U.S. in the current fiscal quarter will be sourced from India, while iPads and other devices will come from Vietnam as the company works to avoid the impact of President Trump’s tariffs on its business. Apple’s earnings for the first three months of the year topped Wall Street’s expectations thanks to high demand for its iPhones, and the company said tariffs had a limited effect on the fiscal second quarter’s results. Cook added that for the current quarter, assuming things don’t change, Apple expects to see $900 million added to its costs as a result of the tariffs.
