New retailers join DoorDash, giving parents time back with on-demand delivery of everything on their back-to-school list, from backpacks and books to apparel and more

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Between new class schedules, sports practices, and the scramble to find the right size backpack and outfits, back-to-school season is one of the busiest shopping moments of the year and one of the most time-consuming. Today, we're excited to welcome Barnes & Noble, Carter's, and Kohl's to the Marketplace, giving parents and students back the time they'd otherwise spend running between stores, with school clothes, supplies, classic and new reads, and everyday kids' essentials all delivered to their door.

Shop back to school on DoorDash with Barnes & Noble, Carter's, and Kohl's.

With over half a million products eligible for delivery in under an hour across categories like Apparel, Books, Baby & Kids, Household, and more*, DoorDash has become a go-to destination for everyday essentials. New back-to-school retailers on DoorDash include:

• Barnes & Noble – Consumers can now get everything on this year's required reading lists, along with reference books, study guides, workbooks, notebooks, planners and pens, delivered from their local Barnes & Noble. In addition, consumers can shop an expansive selection of toys, games, stationery, gifts, movies and music — including trending and hot items like squishy toys and building blocks — all through DoorDash. This marks DoorDash's first large-scale books offering, spanning everything from classics to light, summer reads.
• Carter's – Carter’s is DoorDash's largest assortment for kids' apparel and essentials. From daycare spills to forgotten picture day outfits, on-demand delivery with DoorDash means being prepared for back-to-school is faster and easier than ever.
• Kohl's – From first-day outfits to sneakers and dorm room essentials, consumers now have access to products across Kohl’s more than 1,100 stores nationwide. The partnership marks DoorDash's first department store selection spanning apparel to home goods.

"Back-to-school is one of those seasons where there's just no time to plan every trip. As a dad, I know how this goes. It's the sports uniform you realize is missing the night before practice, or the notebook nobody remembers until they're already out the door," said Mike Goldblatt, Vice President of Enterprise Partnerships at DoorDash. "Bringing Barnes & Noble, Carter's, and Kohl's onto DoorDash means parents can get what they need in minutes instead of making another stop. For our retail partners, it means getting in front of consumers exactly when they need them most."

In Q1 2026, DoorDash brought fast third-party convenience delivery within reach for over 60% of the U.S. population, with a median delivery time of 30 minutes or less** and fulfilled tens of millions of grocery and retail deliveries in under 30 minutes across more than 22,000 ZIP codes. As families juggle packed schedules this fall, DoorDash's growing retail selection reflects the platform's continued push to be the fastest way to get what you need, when you need it.
