During the pandemic, DoorDash has seen sales increase in the U.S. due to restaurants shuttering in-person dining rooms. It previously planned to go public in February, but is now reportedly planning a traditional IPO before the end of the year. In June, the company said it raised $400 million in equity capital—bringing its valuation to nearly $16 billion.
In August, DoorDash revealed it was trying its hand at convenience stores. It announced the launch of a chain of virtual convenience stores called DashMart. The stores will sell snacks, groceries, and other food-related products from partner restaurants.
Similar to a ghost kitchen, these stores don’t have brick-and-mortar locations and exist solely on the DoorDash app. DashMart is available in eight U.S. cities: Chicago; Cincinnati; Columbus, OH; Dallas; Minneapolis; the greater Phoenix, AZ area; Salt Lake City; and Redwood City, CA. DoorDash also said it plans to expand to more locations in the future.
Meanwhile, DoorDash is also helping restaurants reopen as delivery-only kitchens, reported QSR Magazine (Oct. 26).

“Every business needs to learn how to pivot. It feels like DoorDash said, ‘We got you.’ We understand your business and we’re going to find a way to make it work. Together with DoorDash’s expertise, this new concept will help us sustain an off-premise operation and ultimately help us focus on bringing back the neighborhood restaurant how we want to,” said Krazy Hog owner Victor Cooksey.
