The new CVS Express will allow customers to order online and pick up their purchases in the store or at the curb. The service is available at CVS Pharmacies in San Francisco, California, Charlotte, North Carolina and Atlanta, Georgia, with more locations rolling out this year.
"Retail pharmacy is an exciting, competitive landscape that is ripe for digital innovation," CVS Pharmacy President Helena Foulkes said. "This partnership with Curbside allows CVS Health to offer new and more convenient ways for our customers to shop with us, ultimately making it easier for them to enjoy a healthy lifestyle in a way that works best for them."
The free service is available for front store and over-the-counter items. After the customer has used the application to locate products and place an order, a message is sent by text and email when the order is ready. The order is delivered to the customer upon arrival at the store. Some stores have curbside pickup available, so the customer never has to leave the vehicle.
"We founded Curbside to help make shopping at neighborhood stores faster and easier than ever before," Curbside Co-founder and CEO Jaron Waldman said. "Our proprietary location technology ensures seamless, reliable order handoff at the moment a customer arrives and our console app powers an efficient pick and pack operation for CVS Pharmacy colleagues to prepare orders in the store. In partnership with CVS Health we've created a fast, convenient new shopping experience that busy CVS Pharmacy customers are going to love."
