TORONTO – DoorDash has brought its delivery-based grocery and convenience stores that make sales solely through an app to Canada.

The San Francisco, Calif. company whose main business is delivering restaurant food, says it has opened DashMart locations in Toronto, London, Kitchener, Vancouver and Winnipeg.

DashMart locations operate through a “dark store” model, where walk-in customers are not accepted because sales are only made through deliveries processed on apps.

DashMart locations operate from 7:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily and carry more than 2,000 grocery and convenience store items, including fresh fruits and vegetables, meat and dairy, pantry staples and household essentials.

DoorDash has plans to expand the DashMart model further across Canada, but spokesperson Catherine McCormack would not provide a projected number of stores or cities of interest.

Rival SkipTheDishes runs a similar business called Skip Express Lane, which began with locations in Winnipeg and London, Ont.

Hot topic: mayor considers max temp for rental properties

Joyanne Pursaga 3 minute read Tuesday, Jul. 14, 2026

Mayor Scott Gillingham says he’s open to exploring a call to set a maximum temperature for indoor rental units.

“I think we should be looking at that, as far as what the specifics would be … (In) our overall body of work, recently, we have been addressing the heat and making sure people have places to get out from under the heat,” said Gillingham.

Tenant and environmental groups have called for a maximum indoor rental unit heat limit that doesn’t exceed 26 C. A city bylaw does require landlords to maintain a minimum daytime temperature of 21 C during cold weather.

Gillingham noted the city has added 24-7 safe spaces, extended spray pad hours, opened libraries as cooling spaces and added drinking water stations to provide relief on very hot days.
