“Our collaboration with DoorDash is the latest example of our
ongoing focus on enhancing our customer experience with new
convenient, accessible and safe shopping and delivery options,”
said Stefanie Kruse, vice president, digital commerce and
omni-channel at Walgreens. “We continue to offer additional ways to
get essential retail products into the hands of customers at their
door stoop or wherever and whenever is most convenient for
them.”
Items available for delivery today in the Chicago, Atlanta and
Denver areas include select over-the-counter medications, and other
household essentials and convenience products from Walgreens
stores. Customers within range of a participating Walgreens store
available for delivery can visit the DoorDash mobile app or go to
www.doordash.com to place an order.
“We’re thrilled to announce our collaboration with Walgreens to
make convenience items more accessible to the local communities we
serve,” said Fuad Hannon, Head of New Verticals at DoorDash.
“Walgreens offers an unmatched assortment of health and beauty,
grocery and convenience essentials, and we look forward to
continuing our growth beyond food to offer millions of Americans
access to thousands of Walgreens items on-demand. In light of the
ongoing crisis, we will continue to provide customers with access
to the supplies they need to maintain a well-cared for and healthy
at-home environment.”
