SEATTLE, Sept. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Today, Bartell Drugs (Bartell's)
announced a new partnership with Uber Technologies, Inc.
(NYSE: UBER) to offer delivery of Bartell's products in the Puget
Sound region through Uber Eats. This partnership will allow
customers to purchase essential healthcare and grocery items
to be delivered directly to their homes quickly and conveniently.
The announcement comes in tandem with a similar partnership for
Uber and Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD), which purchased Bartell Drugs in
2020.
On-demand delivery is now available for all 67 Bartell
Drugs locations through Uber Eats. Customers who wish to order
Bartell's items for delivery simply need to open the Uber Eats app,
tap the convenience or pharmacy icons, select Bartell Drugs, and
begin shopping. Within the app, users can access a full catalog of
healthcare and grocery products from their local store.
Uber Pass and Eats Pass customers
will also enjoy $0 delivery and 5%
off on all orders over $15.
"Bartell's has been serving this region for 130 years and
counting, and we're always looking for new ways to improve how we
meet the needs of those in the Puget Sound area," said Ken Mahoney, division vice president of retail
for Rite Aid and Bartell Drugs. "Convenience and speed in the
shopping experience are crucial, and partnering with Uber Eats to
expand our delivery options will help us give our customers even
more of what they want — easy access to products that help them
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 Uber's
global head of grocery and new verticals. "With our partners at
Rite Aid and Bartell Drugs, we're thrilled to make shopping for
everything from cold medicine to color cosmetics more 'convenient'
than ever."
This partnership with Bartell's 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 Bartell's, Uber is focused on helping consumers
get more – more convenience, more variety and more connections to
commerce they love.
