Gelson’s Is Now on DoorDash
DoorDash announced on June 24 that it is expanding its grocery and food‑retail offerings by associating with merchants from across the US. One of these is Gelson’s, a beloved supermarket chain in SoCal.
Popular for its fresh produce, premium meats, and gourmet prepared meals, Gelson’s has emerged as a successful grocery chain. As DoorDash ties up with it, customers across the chain’s 26 locations in the region can now enjoy on-demand delivery.
DoorDash Adds Its New Grocery Partner Amid Rising Orders in Q1 2025
The timing of DoorDash’s partnership with Gelson’s is notable. This initiative started because the online food delivery platform recorded a high number of grocery orders in Q1 2025.
Other than the SoCal grocery chain, DoorDash has added three other partners to its roster. These include Big Y, Gordon Food Service Store, and Citarella.
The new names, along with Gelson’s, would now offer DoorDash shoppers the opportunity to get an increased number of last-minute items and unique local products. Families, restaurants, working professionals, and others can restock inventory and use the platform more conveniently.
