In 2021, Gorillas, Buyk, and Gopuff opened dozens of rapid-delivery warehouses in Manhattan. Amid a collapse in the sector, DoorDash has ceased its ultrafast delivery operation in Chelsea. DoorDash's exit comes as the ultrafast grocery delivery space has collapsed over the past year after growing wildly in spring 2021. Many had spread throughout New York City, Chicago, Boston, and San Francisco. Neighborhoods in New York City also balked at the dark store operations, accusing them of ruining retail enclaves and taking away business from local bodegas.
