BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Aug. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Same-day
delivery service Shipt and Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD) today announced a
partnership to bring same-day delivery of health and wellness
products to Rite Aid's retail footprint across 17 states. Customers
can order from more than 2,000 Rite Aid locations through the Shipt
marketplace, with delivery to their door in as soon as one
hour.
Over the last year, both companies have seen same-day delivery
offerings transition from a luxury to a convenience to a must-have
for consumers. Whether shopping for cold and flu medicines,
vitamins, beauty staples, personal care, or snacks and beverages,
customers have access to more than 20,000 products available at
Rite Aid through Shipt.
"Both Shipt and Rite Aid recognize the importance of meeting the
ever-changing needs of our customers and exceeding their
expectations," said Rina Hurst,
chief business officer at Shipt. "We're thrilled to offer Rite Aid
customers access to a community of Shipt Shoppers, who are
committed to going above and beyond to get their order exactly
right. Shipt continues to evolve as a multi-vertical delivery
service that can serve as a one-stop-shop regardless of a
customer's need, and Rite Aid is a valued partner in that
journey."
"As part of our ongoing RxEvolution, continuing to bring to life
the 'new Rite Aid' is paramount – and that includes offering
consumers exciting new ways to shop. Our partnership with Shipt
brings another level of convenience to the Rite Aid customer
experience," said Katie Finnegan,
chief customer experience and e-commerce officer, Rite Aid. "As
consumer preferences continue to evolve, offering options is
important, and we'll continue exploring ways to make it as easy as
possible for our customers to get the items they need to keep their
families healthy, happy and thriving."
To kick off the partnership, starting today through Aug. 12, customers will receive $10 off when they spend $50 on their first Rite Aid order. New customers
can sign up and learn about availability in their area by visiting
shipt.com/rite-aid or by downloading the Shipt app. After building
their Rite Aid order, customers will schedule their delivery, and a
