Food City has expanded its partnership with DoorDash, the local commerce platform, to include on-demand grocery delivery in 117 stores across five states, including Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia. The partnership also includes on-demand delivery of a wide assortment of fresh floral arrangements in participating localities.

“Food City is committed to providing our loyal customers with the best products and services possible,” says Steven C. Smith, Food City president and chief executive officer. “Our e-commerce initiatives have really flourished throughout the pandemic, and we’re excited to expand our partnership with DoorDash.”

Customers can download the DoorDash app to take advantage of this convenient new service, which includes a wide range of grocery items from everyday essentials to fresh foods and floral arrangements prepared in-store. Once an order is placed, a Dasher will shop your order and deliver it directly to your door.

“This partnership provides our Food City shoppers with the flexibility to continue to receive the top-quality products they enjoy when shopping in person, with the added convenience of on-demand delivery to their doorstep. Customers may choose to do their entire grocery shopping online or simply have items delivered directly to their home,” says Kevin Stafford, Food City vice president of marketing.

Food City also offers the added convenience of GoCart curbside pick-up, and online shopping for fresh-made deli items like party trays, special occasion cakes, holiday dinners, grab n’ go sandwiches and Shortcuts ready to heat and eat meals.

Food City’s e-commerce initiatives allow customers to shop from anywhere, at any time with all of the conveniences of shopping in-store, including coupons, Fuel Bucks rewards, and the same incredible selection and low prices. Plus, they receive exclusive online offers and have the flexibility to select their preferred pick-up or delivery method and time. Info here. foodcity.com.
