Uber has launched 'The One Shop,' a grocery store-inspired pop-up event, as part of a tour across American university campuses to promote its new membership program, 'Uber One for Students,' offering an experience that combines elements of a grocery store with an art installation.
The pop-up provides free items from brands where Uber One for Students members can access special pricing and discounts, including "Starbucks, Taco Bell, Wendy’s, Domino’s, Popeyes, Insomnia Cookies, and Panera Bread." Moreover, the Uber One for Students membership offers benefits similar to the standard Uber One membership but at a reduced cost and is available exclusively to college students. Students who sign up can "enter to win prizes, take photos at themed installations—such as a space featuring oversized Taco Bell sauce packets—and receive branded merchandise."
