Curbside partners with Yelp for pick-up service

Curbside has teamed up with Yelp so US shoppers can buy goods through the Yelp app for pick up from participating local stores or restaurants within an hour. Curbside works with a range of retailers across the US – including the CVS Pharmacy chain, which will be participating in the Yelp/Curbside service. Shoppers order products online and then the goods are packaged ready for collection.

Commenting in the Yelp/Curbside partnership in a statement issued yesterday (9 August), Jaron Waldman, Co-founder and CEO at Curbside, said: “The functionality will expand nationwide to thousands of CVSs across the United States where Curbside pickup is already available.

“This partnership will now provide CVS customers with another convenient way to buy and pick up their products on the go through an app they already use to connect with great local businesses.

“We’ll also be adding additional retailers and businesses, including Pizza Hut, which is currently live in select markets and will be expanding in the coming months.”
