The partnership brings more than 1,000 Empire stores across 10 provinces onto the DoorDash marketplace. Twelve grocery banners from Empire’s portfolio — including Sobeys, Safeway, IGA, FreshCo, Farm Boy and Longo’s — are now available for on-demand delivery. Convenience banners such as Needs, Boni-Soir and Voisin are also included.
DoorDash states that grocery is one of its fastest-growing categories in Canada and that 25% of its monthly active users in the country engaged with grocery, convenience, alcohol and retail categories in December 2025.
“Home to over a dozen banners spanning coast to coast, Empire is one of the most trusted names in Canadian grocery and retail. As Canadians increasingly face time pressure, DoorDash is proud to help give some time back through on-demand grocery delivery – whether it’s a full weekly shop or just for tonight’s dinner. Together, we’re making everyday shopping more convenient and accessible,” said Mike Goldblatt, Vice President of Enterprise Business Development and Partnerships at DoorDash.
According to the company, consumers can access nearly 10,000 items per store on average through the platform, including fresh produce, pantry staples, household essentials and pharmacy items. Grocery orders are delivered in under 60 minutes on average from order to drop-off in Canada’s five largest cities.
“As digital grocery adoption continues to grow, partnerships with local commerce platforms like DoorDash allow us to extend the reach of our banners and better serve evolving consumer expectations. We’re providing customers with flexible, on-demand access to quality and value in more ways than ever before, while complementing our in-store experience,” said Mohit Grover, Senior Vice President of eCommerce at Empire Company Limited.
From April 27 through May 3, 2026, consumers can receive 30% off one grocery order from participating Empire banners on DoorDash using a promotional code at checkout, subject to terms and minimum order requirements.
