Thank you to this team-up, Hibbett – a retailer of athletic products – just unveiled their brand-new features, part of this deal, taking this business’ wide range of catalog for athletic-inspired style, footwear, and accessories to the Uber Eats platform.
Starting recently for this week, consumers across the United States could shop for almost 900 locations of this store across the country, obtaining their latest sneakers, performance wear, and fan preferences delivered in-demand or on-scheduled, right at their customers’ doorsteps.
Athletes, sneaker enthusiasts, and sports fans could browse and buy everything from the latest sneaker releases, running shoes, and lifestyle sneakers to workout apparel and streetwear direct via the Uber Eats official app. There are also added perks, such as $0 delivery fees on eligible orders.
This also is the newest milestone in the food delivery and ridesharing app’s expansion beyond food, as they continue to grow their retailer offerings.
Hibbett’s CIO, Bill Quinn, stated, "We’re thrilled to share our new partnership with Uber Eats – a collaboration that reimagines what it means to shop locally.”
In addition, the sporting firm is bringing together the speed and the agility of customers’ support for the food delivery app. Then, with the shopping experiences that Hibbett offers, consumers could shop for new ways to invest in athletic-inspired styles. Ridesharing media added that they are offering products from renowned sports brands, too.
“This initiative isn’t just about faster delivery, it’s about more access for our local communities,” Quinn further said.
In order to access those perks, use the Uber Eats app, navigate to the Retail category, choose the store where you wish to purchase, then browse the catalog. Don’t forget to check out your items and use a payment option that the app offers. Uber will help track orders in real-time. You’re done.
There’s also this playbook that goes beyond just food, with the app growing its retail offerings, connecting consumers with everyday products the consumers need. With Hibbett in this partnership, Uber Eats is growing the brand as a single destination for lifestyle and sports.
Uber North America’s head of retail Hashim Amin stated, “[People are gearing up for the season ahead, so] we’re excited to make Hibbett’s iconic selection of footwear and apparel just a tap away. From sneakers to sportswear, Uber Eats is here to deliver what consumers need – fast.”
Headquartered in Alabama, Hibbett leads the industry with thousands of stores, featuring top brands, such as Nike, Jordan, and adidas. You could browse styles, find new releases, shop looks, and buy through their best-in-class omnichannel platforms.
