US-based convenience store retailer Casey’s General Stores has expanded its partnership with DoorDash to provide delivery from its 579 locations amid the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.
The service will be available seven days a week across 16 states. It will be immediately provided for Casey’s made-from-scratch pizza, selected appetisers and 20oz soda.
Casey’s General Stores chief marketing officer Chris Jones said: “Now, more than ever, it’s important to provide our guests with greater access to options for safe and convenient delivery for a family dinner or the essentials they need.
“Casey’s already delivers from about 800 stores but this adds a delivery service to nearly 350 stores where it wasn’t previously available.”
