Hibbett joins Uber Eats platform
Uber Eats continues to expand its customer list beyond food.
Beginning this week, consumers across the U.S. can shop from nearly 900 Hibbett locations nationwide, getting the latest sneakers, performance wear, workout apparel and more delivered on demand or on schedule through the Uber Eats platform. Uber One members enjoy added perks, including $0 Delivery Fees on eligible orders.
Uber says the addition of Hibbett to its platform continues its progress towards being a “one-stop destination for lifestyle, performance and sport.” Recent non-food additions to the platform include DSW, Sephora and Best Buy.
"As people gear up for the season ahead, we're excited to make Hibbett's iconic selection of footwear and apparel just a tap away," said Hashim Amin, head of retail for North America at Uber. "From sneakers to sportswear, Uber Eats is here to deliver what consumers need – fast."
To order Hibbett’s products on Uber Eats, users simply open the app, navigate to the “Retail” category and select their local store. Customers then add items to their cart, choose a delivery time, and place the order.
