AUSTRALIA | In a first for the supermarket, ALDI Australia is teaming up with DoorDash to trial on-demand grocery delivery starting in Canberra, adding even more convenience to its ‘Good Different’ shopping experience.
From Tuesday, the 8th of July, Aussies in the nation’s capital can shop ALDI’s exclusive range of high-quality products at everyday low prices at the click of a button for the first time ever.
Through DoorDash, Canberrans can now conveniently order from more than 1,800 products, including award-winning fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, seafood, dairy, bread and household essentials, transforming the way they shop with ALDI.
“Since entering the Australian market, ALDI’s mission has been to deliver high-quality groceries at the lowest prices for Australian households, and this ambition remains as strong as ever. Through our partnership with DoorDash, we can now literally deliver on this mission directly to Aussies’ doorsteps in an exciting new way that we know our customers have been seeking,” said Jordan Lack, Chief Commercial Officer at ALDI Australia.
“We’re thrilled that customers in Canberra will be able to shop with ALDI from the comfort of their homes, bringing our ‘Good Different’ shopping experience to more and more people in the tap of an app.”
Canberrans can now skip the supermarket shuffle and get their hands on ALDI goodies by downloading the DoorDash app or searching for ‘ALDI’ on the website. Customers then simply add items to their cart and order on-demand, or choose a delivery window that suits them, with Dashers who shop and deliver straight to their door.
Simon Rossi, Vice President of DoorDash APAC, was thrilled to partner with ALDI to deliver greater convenience, choice and affordability to the people of Canberra.
“We know that value and convenience are top priorities for Australians, and this partnership is about continuing DoorDash’s mission to combine the best of both worlds. With ALDI’s trusted quality and DoorDash’s on-demand delivery technology, we’re excited to create more seamless and accessible shopping experiences,” said Rossi.
“This partnership with ALDI represents an exciting step forward in how DoorDash is redefining how Aussies can shop for groceries with a range of delivery options from on-demand, same day or scheduled, making everyday essentials easier to access than ever before.”
As of today, all customers within the service area of ALDI stores in the ACT will have access to ALDI on DoorDash. While ALDI’s availability on DoorDash is currently limited to Canberra, the partnership is expected to roll out, bringing this convenient new way to shop ALDI to more Australians across the country.
“We know Australians will rejoice at the news of ALDI taking our first step in offering customers this convenient shopping format. We will be watching our Canberra trial very closely with plans to scale in the near future,” said Lack.
