Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER) and GameStop (NYSE: GME) today announced a new partnership that brings one of the largest gaming retailers to the Uber Eats marketplace.
Customers can now order video games, gaming consoles, accessories, collectibles, and more from GameStop locations nationwide on Uber Eats for scheduled or on-demand delivery.
GameStop is the latest retailer to join Uber Eats' rapidly growing marketplace, which now features thousands of storefronts across categories including grocery, convenience, beauty, home improvement, office supplies, pet supplies, electronics and more.
“As consumers increasingly turn to Uber Eats for more than meals,” the release continued, “the company continues expanding its retail selection to make it easier to get everything they need—and want—with the tap of a button.
"Whether they're replacing a controller before game night, picking up the latest game release on launch day, or grabbing a last-minute gift, consumers increasingly expect gaming essentials and collectibles to be available on-demand," said Hashim Amin, Head of Grocery and Retail for Uber in North America.
"Adding GameStop to Uber Eats strengthens our growing gaming and electronics selection, giving customers access to another trusted retailer they can shop with the speed and convenience they know from Uber."
UBER shares gained 69 cents, or 1.1%, to $72/78, while GME took on 15 cents to $22.58
