Amazon partners with Rite Aid on package pickup
Amazon has partnered with Rite Aid to provide staffed package pick-up services at 100 of the pharmacy’s locations across the country with plans to roll out the program to 1,500 stores by the end of the year. Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) Counter gives shoppers the option to have their packages delivered via same-day, one-day, two-day or standard shipping to a Rite Aid retail location. “Being the first store partner for Counter in the U.S. is a differentiator for Rite Aid and we believe our partnership with Amazon, that includes Locker, creates a stronger in-store experience for existing customers and new customers that come in to pick up their packages,” said Jocelyn Konrad, executive vice president, Pharmacy and Retail Operations for Rite Aid.
