Just in time for Valentine's Day, Doordash -- a leading online food ordering and delivery service -- has teamed up with more than 3,000 florists throughout the United States to offer users a new range of flower delivery options. The new initiative is representative of DoorDash's broader efforts to expand beyond food deliveries in 2022, as it looks to branch into new categories such as retail, alcohol, pet, and grocery.
Most of the florists included in the app will be added to DashPass, making gifting flowers convenient and affordable for users. These florists include William Paul Floral Design, Jennie’s Flowers of Tampa, The Flower Shop, Poppy Flowers, and POMP Flowers. In addition, to promote the new service, DoorDash has announced that it is offering users an opportunity to win a piece of diamond jewelry from Neil Lane by Kane.
