Bristol Farms Rolls Out On-Demand Grocery Delivery via DoorDash

Last-mile logistics platform DoorDash and specialty food retailer Bristol Farms have teamed up to offer on-demand grocery delivery across Southern California, from Santa Barbara to Palm Desert. DoorDash now offers thousands of items from Bristol Farms, among them premium and organic produce, fresh baked goods, full-service premium meats, fresh fish, artisanal cheese, large assortments of ready to eat meals, and a wide variety of specialty and conventional food items. Bristol Farms shoppers can purchase products from the retailer on the DoorDash app and website and have them delivered to their homes the same day.

“At Bristol Farms, our mission is to bring people together around good food,” noted Adam Caldecott, CEO of Carson, Calif.-based Bristol Farms (BF), which operates 14 locations throughout Southern California. “We strive to provide opportunities for guests to discover new and exciting products, alongside grocery essentials.

We’re excited to further expand our online options to better serve both new and existing customers.”
