Getting essential grocery items as quickly as possible is about to get a lot easier thanks to the announcement of the new PC Express Rapid Delivery thanks to a partnership between Loblaw and DoorDash.
The new delivery service will hit the Canadian market in August when consumers will be able to place an order for their favorite grocery and convenience items. Customers will enjoy a delivery time of 30-minutes or less, which will come as welcome news for those who need essentials as fast as possible.
Senior Vice President of Loblaw digital Lauren Steinberg commented on the new PC Express Rapid Delivery saying, "Customers have come to expect the very best online grocery shopping experience from us, whether they choose curbside pickup or delivery to their door. Collaborating with DoorDash on rapid delivery services enables us to enhance our already existing PC Express offering by adding 30-minutes-or-less delivery to meet customers' growing interest in on-demand delivery options."
