DoorDash has added major athletic retailers Foot Locker, Kids Foot Locker, and Champs Sports to its on‑demand delivery platform, giving the company access to nearly 1,300 U.S. store locations. The partnership allows DoorDash users to order sneakers, apparel and accessories from the DoorDash app for fast, reliable delivery.
The 1,300‑store figure combines Foot Locker’s 664 U.S. stores with the combined footprints of Kids Foot Locker and Champs Sports. The deal marks a significant step in DoorDash’s strategy to diversify beyond food and grocery, positioning the company as a leading third‑party marketplace for retail order volume in the United States, a status it claimed for 2025.
For Foot Locker, the partnership offers a new revenue channel amid a challenging retail environment. The company reported a net loss of $363 million for Q1 2025, and its parent, Dick’s Sporting Goods, has been pursuing a “Fast Break” store format to return to profitability by back‑to‑school 2026. The DoorDash collaboration is expected to broaden Foot Locker’s customer reach and help offset store‑closure losses.
DoorDash’s Q4 2025 earnings, released February 18 2026, showed revenue growth but missed EPS and Q1 guidance. The partnership is part of the company’s broader effort to increase order values and consumer engagement, leveraging its large user base and logistics network to capture higher‑margin retail categories.
Promotional offers for the launch run through March 22 2026, giving new DoorDash users a discount on their first Foot Locker order. The limited‑time promotion is designed to drive trial and adoption of the new service.
