The world’s number one and most preferred food delivery app, DoorDash, has recently unveiled on its official newsroom section on its official website that it currently is on the throne for being the number one in grocery and retail order volume, too, in the United States.
“We’re proud that in [2025 until today], DoorDash became the leading third-party marketplace in order volume across grocery and retail in the US, giving merchants access to significant consumer demand across everyday shopping categories,” DoorDash told Ridesharing Forum.
Louder, DoorDash! The food delivery app’s growth and success in the fields of grocery and retail is, according to them, rooted in a singular idea. That which says local businesses have better access to the market.
When businesses are connected to the best customers from a wide range of neighborhoods, DoorDash is able to help merchants also expand their reach and drive the sales they need to keep thriving.
“From weekly staples to special occasions, we make it easier for local businesses to meet demand in real-time,” DoorDash added.
If you’re in doubt about whether this is real or not, DoorDash cited some real-life examples and figures, too, below.
First, its undying partnerships with big businesses, such as Kroger and 33 more grocery partners across the country, not to mention deals with businesses like Family Dollar, DSW, and Old Navy, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t believe this newest declaration.
Aside from those, DoorDash also has lasting affiliations with gourmet market and seafood authority Citarella, independent grocery chain Mollie Stone’s, regional supermarket chain Schnucks, and so much more.
Also, DoorDash’s marketing and public relations teams are relentless. For instance, during the last Valentine’s Day, over a third of online flower delivery orders were made on DoorDash, “demonstrating how DoorDash helps merchants capture high-intent seasonal demand at scale.”
DoorDash and ChatGPT? Why not! Recently, DoorDash was also enabled on ChatGPT, where consumers can get ideas on meals and more, helping businesses reach consumers even more earlier.
Did the latest performance of DoorDash on the stock market contribute to them being number one in this regard? Well, probably.
A recent report on CNBC revealed DoorDash’s stocks climbing a whopping around 15 percent, something that seems little, but actually big, since in-demand apps like Ola India are struggling economically, too.
“DoorDash’s stock climbed 14 percent during extended trading on Wednesday, recovering from an initial downswing after the food delivery platform issued disappointing fourth-quarter results and guidance,” indicated CNBC correspondent Samantha Subin. Revenue for the period increased 38 percent from about $2.87 billion last year. The company said total orders grew 32 percent year over year to 903 million, while marketplace gross order value, which tracks the total dollar value of orders, jumped 39 percent to $29.7 billion.”
