Uber Technologies Inc. said it is starting seasonal deliveries
for holiday items on its Uber Eats app.
The company's "Holiday Shop" will start Oct. 1 with Halloween
items like pumpkins and carving kits for customers in Los Angeles,
San Diego and West Palm Beach, Fla. Uber is partnering with Proper
Cos.' holiday division, which includes Mr. Jack O' Lanterns Pumpkin
Patch and Mr. Jingles Christmas Trees, for the shop, it said
Thursday.
After Halloween, Uber said it will deliver other on-demand items
for upcoming holidays like Christmas while it expands the offering
to more areas.
"Over the last few years, we've seen our customer base become
more interested in having our products delivered rather than coming
into our brick-and-mortar locations," said Brandon Helfer, owner
and operator of Jack O' Lanterns Pumpkin Patch.
