Food delivery platform DoorDash has established a partnership with US home improvement chain Lowe’s, marking its first entry into this sector.  

Lowe's products are now available for purchase directly through the DoorDash app, facilitating same-day delivery.

The collaboration will enable delivery from 1,700 Lowe's stores across the US, significantly expanding DoorDash's offering. 

DoorDash new verticals vice-president Fuad Hannon said: “We’re excited to welcome Lowe’s to DoorDash as our first national home improvement retailer. 

“Our partnership enables consumers [to gain] quick access to must-have tools and last-minute materials to complete projects of all sizes. With Lowe’s in the marketplace, we add to the great selection of everyday essentials that consumers rely on for on-demand delivery on DoorDash.” 

All participating Lowe's stores will be integrated into DashPass, a subscription service of DoorDash that offers a zero delivery fee and lower service fee on eligible orders. 

Lowe's digital commerce and technology senior vice-president Neelima Sharma said: “As Lowe’s continues its omnichannel journey, expanding same-day delivery options helps us meet our customers where they are. 

“Our collaboration with DoorDash unlocks an opportunity for us to reach new DIY customers who are shopping directly on the DoorDash app, helping them get everything they need for spring.” 

The delivery company's platform now offers delivery from 150,000 non-restaurant stores globally, reflecting its expansion beyond food.

By the end of 2023, one in five monthly active consumers had ordered from a non-restaurant category on its platform.  

In March 2024 delivery marketplace Shipt partnered with Lowe’s to offer a same-day delivery service for home improvement and DIY products.
