foodpanda has entered into a partnership with retail giant Gaisano Market to accelerate quick-commerce (q-commerce) growth in Davao City, according to a report from Google News — retail Philippines. The collaboration aims to bring faster on-demand delivery of groceries and everyday essentials to consumers in the region.
Quick commerce, or q-commerce, refers to the rapid delivery of goods, often within minutes, using a network of dark stores or partner retail locations. By leveraging Gaisano Market's physical footprint in Davao, foodpanda can shorten delivery times and improve product availability for customers, strengthening its position in the competitive Philippine delivery market.
The partnership underscores the accelerating adoption of q-commerce in the Philippines, particularly in key cities outside Metro Manila. For foodpanda, this move expands its presence in Mindanao and signals further investment in logistics and merchant partnerships. The initiative is expected to benefit local consumers with more convenient shopping options and support Gaisano Market in reaching a wider customer base through digital channels.
