Now you can get your Walgreens purchases delivered via Uber Eats.
On Tuesday, Walgreens announced that customers in the U.S. will be able to order products for on-demand delivery directly from the Uber Eats app.
According to the announcement, customers can already order products for delivery from more than 7,800 Walgreens stores in the U.S. The delivery service through Uber Eats will eventually expand to include Puerto Rico, the announcement said.
Currently, customers can order "top selling Walgreens retail items," but the pharmacy chain plans to eventually include its "entire assortment of more than 20,000 products," on the Uber Eats app.
