Arboretum Launches Charlotte’s First-Ever Drone Delivery Service
May 14, 2025
The Arboretum Shopping Center in south Charlotte is making history as the launch site for the city’s first-ever drone delivery service. Thanks to a new partnership between DoorDash and drone company Wing, customers within a four-mile radius of the shopping center can now order food by drone from select restaurants located at or near the Arboretum, including Curry Junction, Matcha Cafe Maiko, Joa Korean Food, and Panera Bread.
This marks a major milestone for both Charlotte and The Arboretum, positioning the center at the forefront of innovative, tech-driven convenience. Eligible users will see a “Drone” icon in the DoorDash app, and once an order is placed, drones launch from a local hub, flying up to 200 feet in the air at speeds of around 65 miles per hour to deliver meals in minutes.
