Uber Technologies has announced that it will be expanding its partnership with The Body Shop to offer beauty retailer's products for delivery across nearly all of its United States-based locations.
The expansion builds on the two brands' 2020 partnership, which piloted the opening of six The Body Shop stores for delivery of haircare, body care, and skincare products. Starting tomorrow, 75 of The Body Shop's stores will begin offering more than 2,000 of the brand's signature products through Uber Eats.
"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," said Christian Freese, head of New Verticals for Uber Eats in the US & Canada.
