75 stores will be available for same day
delivery through Uber Eats
SAN
FRANCISCO, Aug. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Uber
Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER) and The Body Shop announced the
expansion of their partnership to include almost all of the beauty
company's retail stores across the U.S. This expansion brings new
locations to the Uber platform and allows consumers in new cities
including Illinois, Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania and even Alaska and Hawaii, to shop for their favorite The Body
Shop products through Uber Eats.
This partnership builds on the 2020 launch that brought six
pilot locations to the Uber Eats and Cornershop apps, offering
products from across the company's haircare, body care and skincare
lines. Beginning August 10, 75
of The Body Shop storefronts will make more than 2,000 of the
beauty retailer's most popular items, including Shea Body Butter, Ginger Shampoo, and its
Tea Tree range, available for
purchase on the Uber Eats app and delivered, on-demand, to your
doorstep. Uber One members benefit from $0 Delivery Fee on all The Body Shop orders with
$15 minimum purchase.
"When it comes to delivery at Uber, we strive to be able to get
consumers whatever they want, when they want it - and that includes
their beauty must-haves," said Christian
Freese, head of New Verticals for Uber Eats in the US &
Canada. "Beauty is an exciting
space for us, and expanding with The Body Shop, a beauty industry
staple for over 40 years, will allow us to bring on-demand cosmetic
and personal care items to even more people across the
country."
This expansion marks Uber's ongoing commitment to the retail and
grocery categories. In the U.S. and around the world, Uber is
uniquely poised to meet consumers' growing desire to get the things
they need from grocery stores and other merchants in an on-demand
fashion within hours—if not minutes—rather than days.
"Two years since The Body Shop pilot program with Uber Eats
began, we're thrilled to expand our partnership to now offer
reliable, fast, same-day delivery to all of our US customers, in 75
stores across the country," said Aliza
Birnberg-Perruzzi, AVP, Marketing, US. "Uber Eats allows us
to continue to meet our existing customers changing shopping habits
and grow our customer base by meeting the needs of the beauty
consumer in the US today."
