The company plans to expand its network of locations and partners over the coming months.
DoorDash president Christopher Payne said: “As the largest and most reliable logistics network in the US, DoorDash is positioned to enter this emerging industry and provide consistent quality, speed and convenience that customers know and trust.
“Many New Yorkers already turn to DoorDash for their next meal or essentials purchases, which puts us in an exciting place to deliver on the promise of ultra-fast delivery.
“Consumers increasingly expect an effortless, enjoyable experience, so while we are starting with DashMarts, our goal is to expand this offering to select grocery and convenience partners.”
DoorDash opened its first DashMarts last August with the aim of offering a one-stop shop for a variety of essential items.
The platform supports almost 400 local and regional producers and retailers.
In June, DoorDash partnered with US-based grocery retailer Albertsons to expand the retailer’s domestic on-demand grocery delivery service.
The company is offering its delivery service from almost 2,000 Albertsons stores across the US, including those of its Safeway, Vons and Jewel-Osco banners.
