Ride-sharing service Uber partnered up with fashion retailer Joe Fresh to offer a memorable holiday shopping experience.
For one day only (Saturday, December 6th), Toronto shoppers will be treated to a free ride to Joe Fresh (Queen street location) in an UberX. Upon arrival, guests will receive a Joe Fresh gift bag, along with a code for 30% off all subsequent purchases.
To sign up, Uber users need only to enter the promotional code "HolidayInOrange" into their app. From 11am-6pm, users will be able to request a "Joe Fresh" vehicle (a festively-wrapped UberX). Images of the ride can be uploaded to social media under the hashtag #JoeFreshUber. If you're interested in receiving VIP Holiday treatment, the Uber and Joe Fresh holiday shopping experience is the way to go!
