Seattle-based PCC Community Markets will use DoorDash for delivery
PCC Community Markets — the largest community-owned food market in the U.S. and one of Seattle’s original grocers — has partnered with DoorDash to offer on-demand grocery delivery from 15 locations in and around Seattle.
PCC is the first community-owned grocer available on the DoorDash marketplace, according to a news release.
As a certified organic retailer, organic, fresh, local, seasonal and sustainable are top priorities at PCC — especially in the fresh produce department, but also in meat, seafood and pantry items in bulk bins.
DoorDash data shows that the most ordered items from PCC on DoorDash are strawberries, bananas, avocados, lemons, eggs and blueberries.
Grocery orders can be placed on-demand from local PCC stores via the DoorDash marketplace app or website.
All participating PCC stores will be available on DashPass, DoorDash’s membership program that offers members $0 delivery fees from thousands of restaurants, grocery, and convenience stores nationwide. DashPass members get these benefits on all eligible orders of $35 or more from PCC.
Also, in celebration of the partnership, members and shoppers will receive 30% off, up to $20, with promo code PCC30 on their first PCC DoorDash order of $50 or more. The offer is valid through June 15 or while supplies last.
Founded in Seattle in 1953, PCC today has more than 110,000 members. The market has a triple bottom line that balances environmental, social and economic goals while reducing environmental impacts and giving back to its community.

PCC operates 16 stores in the Puget Sound area, including the cities of Bellevue, Bothell, Burien, Edmonds, Issaquah, Kirkland, Redmond and Seattle. Seattle stores are in the neighborhoods of Ballard, Central District, Columbia City, Downtown, Fremont, Green Lake, View Ridge and West Seattle. The co-op also plans to open a new store in Madison Valley.
In 2021, PCC gave more than 65% of pretax earnings to members and the communities it serves. This includes the co-op’s member dividend and support of nonprofits around the Puget Sound area such as Ventures, Washington Farmland Trust and FareStart.
These announcements follow several other recent partnerships from DoorDash, including a partnership with Aldi, announced in February.
