CVS recently entered into a partnership with DoorDash, in order to launch a same-day delivery service for groceries and more. The retail chain indicated that over 3,000 products will be eligible for same-day delivery, through the DoordDash app or website. The delivery program will launch in Dallas, Houston, Philadelphia, New York City, San Francisco, and Boston.
George Coleman, the senior vice president of merchandising for CVS Health, made a statement about the partnership, “This partnership allows customers to get the non-prescription daily essentials they need while continuing to practice social distancing.”
