FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

January 25, 2024 – The Beer Store is pleased to announce the launch of its partnership with DoorDash Canada. DoorDash’s leading on-demand delivery service will serve customers across Ontario from over 280 store locations. This partnership will serve as another great convenience channel for Beer Store customers across the province, providing great value on cold beer every day.

“Our goal is to provide customers with more access to our products, serve their occasions, and deliver products to their door on time,” said Roy Benin, President & CEO of The Beer Store. “The Beer Store is the most convenient place to buy beer in Ontario, offering great value on a wide selection of beers available.”

In the last few years, The Beer Store has expanded delivery across the province, allowing customers access to pack sizes and menu offerings exclusively found at The Beer Store. Through this partnership, customers can access all pack sizes carried by TBS, such as singles, 12s and 24s, and a wide assortment of beer flavours, types, and styles through the DoorDash app or website. The Beer Store successfully launched with 50 stores on DoorDash in December, delivering beer to customers throughout the holiday season. Expanding its reach, TBS has since added over 230 more locations earlier this month.

“We’re thrilled to partner with The Beer Store, providing Ontarians with the ease of having their favourite local and international beers delivered straight to their doorstep,” said Shilpa Arora, General Manager at DoorDash Canada. “This service not only enhances convenience in Ontario but also underscores our commitment to responsibility through industry-leading safety features in alcohol delivery.”

To celebrate the launch, a $0 delivery fee promotion will be available to customers from Jan 22 to Feb 8, with no order minimum required.*

Embracing social responsibility as a shared core value, both The Beer Store and DoorDash prioritize safe alcohol delivery. Dashers in Ontario are Smart Serve-certified, ensuring responsible alcohol delivery to customers aged 19 and over in accordance with the AGCO’s guidelines. For instance, Dashers are prompted to cancel an alcohol delivery if the recipient fails to produce a valid ID, appears intoxicated, or attempts to purchase for a minor.
