Costco expands Uber Eats delivery partnership to 47 states
Key Points:
- Uber and Costco have expanded their Uber Eats partnership from 17 to 47 U.S. states, making nearly 600 Costco locations available for delivery to members.
- Costco members must verify their membership to order via Uber Eats, and some will receive discounts on Uber One, Uber's paid membership program; customers can also purchase Costco memberships through the app.
- The partnership aims to increase Uber Eats' customer base and introduce Costco's bulk shopping model to younger consumers amid rising competition in the food and grocery delivery market.
- Uber Eats faces growing competition from Instacart, DoorDash, Amazon Fresh, and Walmart, which recently launched "Walmart Restaurant Delivery" in partnership with Subway and Dunkin'.
