Stop & Shop has partnered with Uber to offer half-price rides for those ages 60 years and older to and from its locations from 6 a.m. to 7:30 a.m., reports Progressive Grocer. Friends, family, or neighbors of customers 60 years and older can order a ride on their behalf if the person does not have access to a smartphone or Uber app.
"We are grateful to Uber for partnering with us to help our communities during this very challenging time and to make it easier for those who may be more vulnerable to make their essential shopping trips," said Gordon Reid, Stop & Shop president. "We also hope this commitment will provide a helpful option for customers who wish to shop during special hours but who have told us they are unable to drive or live in areas where other means of transportation are limited or have been temporarily suspended."
