Deliveroo has announced a new, exclusive partnership with health and beauty retailer Boots, that will see food and drink options, medicines for minor ailments and beauty products delivered from 14 pilot stores across the UK.
The new collaboration will be the first time Boots products are available on-demand and will see more than 400 products available. The range includes:
- Medicines for minor ailments such as coughs and colds, hay fever and mild pain
- Beauty brands such as No7, The Inkey List and CeraVe
- Toiletries and skincare items like tampons, deodorant and body lotion
- Baby essentials from nappies to milk formula, as well as children’s medicines like Calpol
- Food and drink options with an assortment of sandwiches, snacks and drinks
Carlo Mocci, chief business officer UKI at Deliveroo, said: “This partnership will mean more choice and selection for our consumers, delivered in as little as 20 minutes, and will create more work for riders across the UK.”
From today [24 August], the service is available to Deliveroo customers from Boots stores in Birmingham High Street, Brighton North Street, Cambridge Petty Curry, Croydon Whitgift Centre, Edinburgh Princes Street, Leeds Trinity, Liverpool Clayton Square, Milton Keynes Crown Walk, Newcastle Eldon Square, Nottingham Victoria Centre, Southampton Above Bar Street and London’s Brent Cross, Croydon Whitgift Centre, Liverpool Street Station and Piccadilly Circus.
The partnership could expand to more Boots stores in the future if the pilot stores are successful.
Paula Bobbett, director of boots.com at Boots UK, added: “We are very excited about this new partnership with Deliveroo and have carefully selected over 400 products for its launch to help our customers get the things they need, when they need them.
“It will be super handy for times when you need something urgently but can’t leave the house, like if you’re feeling unwell or are looking after your kids. Our online business continues to grow and this partnership offers our customers a way to access our products quickly and easily.”
