Walgreens adds on-demand delivery from Grubhub to services

Grubhub is teaming up with Walgreens to bring Walgreens and Duane Reade locations to its marketplace. Through this collaboration, customers have access to 15,000 items for on-demand delivery — including beauty, health and wellness, snacks, personal care, household items, toys and more.

Grubhub said its data shows that customers who shop from convenience merchants on Grubhub order nearly three times more per month than those who don't, making them valuable users of the Grubhub marketplace.

"We're excited to add Walgreens and Duane Reade to offer customers a robust selection of convenience retailers on Grubhub," said Craig Whitmer, vice president of new verticals at Grubhub. "As a Chicago-based company, working with another hometown favorite is particularly special. The addition of these two brands helps us scale our convenience offerings across the country with a strong focus on key markets like Chicago and New York City, and we look forward to delivering even more value and convenience to our shared communities."

"Customers today expect to get what they want, when they want it, how they want it," said Sharmila Sudhakar, group vice president of digital commerce and omni experience at Walgreens. "The addition of Grubhub to Walgreens' growing roster of delivery partners helps meet that expectation and offers shoppers another simple and trusted same-day solution to get the essentials they need."

Walgreens and Duane Reade are part of Grubhub+, Grubhub's loyalty program, which offers members perks like $0 delivery fees and lower service fees on eligible orders, discounted priority delivery and ongoing member-only exclusive offers.
