DoorDash has added 2,700 Kroger‑run grocery stores to its delivery network that accept SNAP/EBT payments, expanding the platform’s reach to 57,000 stores nationwide that can process SNAP benefits. The move allows DoorDash users to order a full range of SNAP‑eligible products directly from Kroger through the DoorDash app, creating a new channel for millions of consumers to shop for groceries online.
The partnership builds on DoorDash’s existing 4.5 million users who have linked their SNAP cards to the platform, a figure that was reported as of the fourth quarter of 2025. By integrating Kroger’s extensive store footprint, DoorDash can now serve a broader geographic area, including many food‑desert communities where access to affordable groceries is limited.
For Kroger, the expansion is expected to accelerate its e‑commerce momentum. The retailer has posted double‑digit growth in digital sales for several consecutive quarters and projects that the new partnership will add approximately $400 million to its 2026 e‑commerce operating profit. DoorDash, meanwhile, has positioned itself as the leading third‑party marketplace for grocery and retail order volume in the United States, and the Kroger deal strengthens its foothold in the grocery delivery segment.
Mike Goldblatt, DoorDash’s VP of enterprise partnerships, said, “Access to affordable food is fundamental. This collaboration with Kroger marks an important step forward for SNAP access nationwide. Together, we’re helping millions of consumers shop more conveniently for the groceries their households rely on every day.” Ron Sargent, Kroger’s Chairman and CEO, added, “eCommerce remains a core part of serving customers who want better value, wide selection and flexible ways to shop. We are building on a strong foundation with five consecutive quarters of double‑digit eCommerce sales growth and increased profitability improvements.”
To encourage adoption, DoorDash is offering $0 delivery fees on the first order from Kroger family brands for customers paying with an EBT card for a limited time. The promotion underscores the partnership’s focus on expanding food access for SNAP recipients while driving growth for both companies in the competitive online grocery market.
