Dive Brief:
DoorDash is looking into ways it could use its DashMart convenience store service as a platform for grocers, Fuad Hannon, the company’s head of new verticals, said in an interview.
Hannon said DoorDash is in the “early innings” of exploring a few models, including as examples, urban delivery from dark stores on behalf of grocers and dedicated delivery for retailers’ private labels.
Although Hannon stressed DoorDash hasn’t firmed up plans here, his comments indicate the company is considering following Instacart in offering dark stores as a service to grocers.
