DoorDash is calling off its partnership with Walmart, which had the service delivering groceries and other goods from the retail chain to customers for over four years, according to a report from Insider<\/em><\/a>. A source close to the situation told Insider<\/em> that DoorDash notified Walmart about its decision earlier this month, citing that the partnership \u201cwas no longer mutually beneficial\u201d and that it wants to \u201cfocus on its long-term customer relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n

DoorDash reportedly gave Walmart a 30-day notice, which means the partnership will officially end in September. The two companies first teamed up in 2018 when Walmart started testing having groceries ordered through its site delivered by DoorDash<\/a>. It went live in Atlanta, Georgia to start, but has since expanded to several other states.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have agreed to part ways with DoorDash,\u201d Walmart spokesperson Leigh Stidham said in an emailed statement to The Verge<\/em>. \u201cWe\u2019d like to thank DoorDash for their partnership and support of our customers the past several years.\u201d DoorDash didn\u2019t immediately respond to The Verge<\/em>\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n
