7-Eleven stores are now offering delivery services in select markets.
7-Eleven customers in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago can now order products from their local 7-Eleven store to be delivered straight to their door. The service, made possible through 7-Eleven’s partnership with DoorDash, will soon also be available in Washington, D.C., and Boston.
This new partnership is DoorDash’s first outside of restaurant delivery, bringing DoorDash one step closer toward reaching its goal of providing on-demand delivery across all types of local businesses.
The strategic relationship between the two companies includes in-store marketing, local promotions and the availability of “Convenience Packs” or groups of products that make purchasing common items from 7-Eleven stores more convenient. For a limited period, the delivery service fee is $2.99.
“By working with DoorDash, we can bring on-demand delivery to more people and more places,” said Raja Doddala, 7-Eleven’s vice president of innovation and omnichannel strategy. “This partnership between the world’s largest convenience store chain and a leading on-demand delivery start-up can redefine convenience. DoorDash’s technology, data analytics and commitment to the customer experience impresses us and makes them a great match for 7-Eleven’s omnichannel initiatives.”
“We’re proud to launch our first expansion beyond restaurants with 7-Eleven,” said Tony Xu, CEO and co-founder of DoorDash. “7-Eleven has shown a true commitment to learning the ins and outs of delivery and even went dashing with our team to see DoorDash in action. We’ve worked closely throughout the testing process to ensure that their products—from convenience goods to fresh and prepared foods—are well suited for delivery.”
