DoorDash announces new on-demand convenience delivery in Tucson

DoorDash, the nation’s leading last-mile logistics platform, announces it will establish DashMart service in Tucson, Arizona.

DashMart is a new type of convenience store, offering both household essentials and local restaurant favorites to customers’ doorsteps. DashMart offers thousands of convenience, grocery, and restaurant items, from ice cream and chips, to cough medicine and dog food, to spice rubs and packaged desserts from local restaurants consumers love. DashMart stores are owned, operated and curated by DoorDash.

DashMart is currently available in 12 cities and Tucson is one of the first mid-sized markets for the DashMart concept. DoorDash has expanded its merchant partnerships with national brands like the Cheesecake Factory as well as local Arizona favorites including Cartel Coffee Lab and Nom’s Bake Shop that chose DashMart to sell menu items such as Cheesecake slices, coffee beans and baked treats. DashMart is actively seeking local Tucson restaurants and retailers as merchant partners.

DoorDash and the city of Tucson hope to inspire even more local businesses—from restaurants and bakeries to artisanal shops—to sell their goods on DashMart and reach customers online conveniently and reliably. Residents have long used DoorDash to discover new restaurants in their neighborhoods, and this latest launch continues that commitment to the growth and success of local businesses in Tucson.

“Southern Arizona continues to attract industry leaders like DoorDash seeking the ideal location for their next phase of growth,” said Joe Snell, president & CEO, Sun Corridor Inc. “DoorDash joins other name brands here in e-commerce and logistics such as Amazon, Target.com, HomeGoods and others.”

“DoorDash’s selection of Tucson is a great fit given our City of Gastronomy designation and unique regional flavor and cuisine,” said Mayor Regina Romero, City of Tucson. “Our local, small businesses have an incredible opportunity to partner with this new service to sell their products.”

“Pima County has thousands of local restaurants and retail businesses who will benefit from this partnership with DashMart and give them an e-commerce growth opportunity during these challenging times,” said Chuck Huckelberry, administrator, Pima County.

“We’re pleased that DoorDash is expanding its southern Arizona presence and creating new jobs,” said Sandra Watson, president & CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority. “Tucson continues to be an attractive location for growing companies, and we thank DoorDash for its investment in our state.”

DashMart has leased 8,000 square feet of space for its new operations at 3981 East Grant Road. The company plans to add 20 jobs, with additional potential future employment based on demand. DashMart is projected to open for business and be operational in Q4 2020.
