Following a successful delivery pilot in Dallas, Austin and Houston, Texas, Uber Technologies is expanding its on-demand prescription delivery to one of the largest U.S. metros: New York City.
Powered by technology platform Nimble, Uber Eats can now connect New Yorkers with prescription delivery, enabling them to easily transfer existing prescriptions — or fulfill new ones — from neighborhood pharmacies right from an app.
“At Uber, we’re hard at work making Uber Eats your go-to destination for much more than food from your favorite restaurant, corner store or grocer,” said Kiran Vinta, Uber’s U.S. GM for new verticals. “I’m excited to announce that we’re one step closer to delivering that reality to our consumers everywhere with the launch of on-demand prescription delivery in the U.S., powered by our partner Nimble. Now more than ever, people are looking for ways to safely and conveniently get the things they need, and we’re proud to bring the very best parts of Uber to prescription delivery.”
