SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Just in time
for Halloween, Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER) announces the
launch of the first official Holiday Shop on the Uber Eats
platform. The exclusive partnership with Proper Companies' holiday
division (which includes Mr. Jack O' Lanterns Pumpkin Patch and Mr.
Jingles Christmas Trees), The Holiday Shop will offer Uber Eats
customers to order their favorite seasonal items to be delivered
right to their door.
Starting October 1, The Holiday
Shop by Mr. Jack O' Lanterns Pumpkin Patch will allow customers in
Los Angeles, San Diego and West Palm Beach to order a
variety of Halloween-themed items directly on the Uber Eats app.
After Halloween, the shop will transition into upcoming holidays
and continue to rotate seasonally while it expands to more markets.

brush, glue with applicator, glitter, pom poms, Halloween stickers,

carving kit, choice of flameless or real tea light candle) -

The one-stop shop for all things holiday will allow customers to
search for their Halloween items using their favorite eerie
emojis including a ghost and pumpkin. To order, type the emoji into
the search bar on the Uber Eats app and The Holiday Shop will pop
up in available cities.
Uber Pass and Eats Pass holders
will enjoy $0 Delivery Fee on
eligible orders of $15+.*
"Our goal is to make Uber a destination that customers can rely
on to get whatever they need when they need it, so creating a
Holiday Shop that offers festive items for all types of
celebrations was a no brainer," said Raj Beri, Uber's Global Head
of Grocery and New Verticals. "We're extremely proud to leverage
our technology and logistics expertise to support a family-owned
small business and enable them to deliver high-quality, seasonal
items right to their customers without losing that personal local
touch."
"Over the last few years, we've seen our customer base become
more interested in having our products delivered rather than coming
into our brick-and-mortar locations," said Brandon Helfer, Owner-Operator of Jack O'
Lanterns Pumpkin Patch. "With this partnership, we will be able to
fulfill more delivery requests and get our customers into the
holiday spirit without them having to leave their home or office.
Our exclusive relationships with growers and farmers around the
country, along with this new partnership with Uber, will allow us
to accommodate more customers and deliver more of what makes the
holidays special."
Uber is the one platform that helps customers to go anywhere and
get anything. With our eyes set on powering on-demand commerce,
Uber Eats provides instant access to local merchants that extends
beyond prepared food delivery, across the globe. With groceries,
convenience, alcohol and other must-haves like wellness products,
pet essentials, and now seasonal holiday must-haves, Uber is
focused on helping consumers get more — more convenience, more
variety, and more connections to commerce they love.
Mr. Jingles Christmas Trees and Mr. Jack O' Lanterns Pumpkin
Patch are part of Proper Companies. Established in 2012, Mr.
Jingles Christmas Trees is a second generation family-owned
business operating in cities nationwide with trees freshly cut and
delivered from local farms. Mr. Jack O' Lanterns Pumpkin Patch
extends the founders' love of holiday to Halloween, a time for fun,
fright, and cool fall nights—for guests who visit a Patch in
person, or who experience the magic at home through this
partnership with Uber.
