Walgreens said it's made a deal with Uber that will allow customers to have products delivered via Uber Eats.
The Deerfield, Illinois pharmacy giant that has dozens of Milwaukee-area locations previously had been working with San Francisco-based ride-sharing company on getting people to Covid-19 vaccinations at Walgreens locations.
Now they're working together to deliver select products.
"The collaboration launches with top selling Walgreens retail items on the Uber Eats app with more added daily and the goal to expand to the entire assortment of more than 20,000 products over time," Walgreens said.
“Our collaboration with Uber for on-demand delivery through both Walgreens and Uber’s channels, as well as integrated vaccine scheduling, gives customers simple and easy ways to put their health and well-being needs at the forefront – which will continue to be important to them as we emerge from the pandemic," said Stefanie Kruse, vice president, digital commerce and omnichannel at Walgreens, in a statement.
The Uber Eats delivery deal follows a July 2020 deal when Walgreens made a deal with DoorDash to have some of its health and wellness products delivered directly to homes.
And in May, Walgreens (Nasdaq: WBA) said it would use DoorDash, Medline and Act Fast deliver 24,000 of its products (excluding prescriptions) to customers' homes within two hours.
