Partnership will offer quick delivery and
improved access to essential items
Today, Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD) announced the expansion of their
partnership with Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER) to offer
delivery of Rite Aid products nationwide through Uber Eats. This
partnership will allow customers to conveniently order and receive
essential healthcare and grocery items directly to their homes.
On-demand delivery is now available for 2,185 Rite Aid locations
across 17 states on Uber Eats. Customers who wish to order Rite Aid
items for delivery simply need to open the Uber Eats app, tap the
convenience or pharmacy icons, select Rite Aid, and begin shopping.
Within the app, users can access a full catalog of healthcare and
grocery products from their local Rite Aid store. Uber Pass and
Eats Pass customers will also enjoy $0 Delivery Fee and 5% off on
all orders over $15.
“Consumer shopping preferences are changing, so we are
continuing to evolve our retail business to ensure customers are
able to conveniently get what they need to keep their family happy
and healthy – whether they visit us in-store or buy online,” said
Jim Peters, chief operating officer, Rite Aid. “By adding Uber as a
delivery option, we are doubling down on an omnichannel approach
that complements the busy lives of our customers. Ensuring
convenient access to whole health essentials enables us to live our
purpose of helping people achieve whole health for life.”
“Convenience is a key component of Uber’s delivery strategy,
allowing us to create a seamless delivery experience by ensuring we
have the essential stores and products customers need," said Raj
Beri Uber’s global head of grocery and new verticals. "With our
partners at Rite Aid, we're thrilled to make shopping for
everything from cold medication to cosmetics more 'convenient' than
ever."
This partnership with Rite Aid reinforces Uber’s goal to be the
one platform that helps customers go anywhere and get anything,
from groceries to convenience items, alcohol and other must-haves.
With advanced product innovations such as the ability to manage
simultaneous orders, while also shopping for everyday essentials
from stores like Rite Aid, Uber is focused on helping consumers get
more – more convenience, more variety, and more connections to
commerce they love.
