DoorDash has announced a major expansion of its grocery business in Canada through a partnership with Empire Company Limited.
The agreement brings more than 1,000 grocery stores across all 10 provinces onto the DoorDash platform, including well-known banners such as Sobeys, Safeway, IGA, FreshCo, Farm Boy, and Longo’s. With this addition, DoorDash now partners with four of the five largest grocery companies in Canada.
The expansion reflects strong growth in the grocery segment, with around 25% of DoorDash’s monthly active users in Canada engaging with grocery, convenience, alcohol, and retail categories as of late 2025. Customers will have access to roughly 10,000 items per store on average, with delivery typically completed in under 60 minutes in major cities.
The partnership aims to meet rising consumer demand for convenience and on-demand shopping, while enabling Empire to extend its digital reach and complement its physical retail network.
