Key Takeaways:

DoorDash has expanded its drone delivery service with Wing (Alphabet) to metropolitan Atlanta, allowing customers within a 6-mile radius of Tanger Outlets Locust Grove to receive orders from select restaurants.
This expansion is part of a broader trend, with DoorDash also offering Wing drone deliveries in Dallas-Fort Worth and Charlotte, and partnering with other drone companies like Flytrex and Manna.
Wing's highly automated drones complete thousands of deliveries daily, carrying up to 5 pounds at 60 mph and lowering packages via a tether, which DoorDash views as crucial for faster and more sustainable local commerce.

A new, drone-shaped icon now appears within the DoorDash delivery app for certain customers in metropolitan Atlanta.

Tapping the icon will open a selection of restaurants at Tanger Outlets Locust Grove near the suburb of McDonough that deliver from Wing, the drone delivery arm of Google parent Alphabet. Per DoorDash, the small, buzzing aircraft will deliver to customers within 6 miles of the outlet in as little as 20 minutes.
