Uber Technologies Inc (UBER.N) has entered into a partnership with SoftBank backed delivery start-up GoPuff to expand the delivery of essential items in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic, the companies said on Tuesday.
The pandemic hit Uber’s ride-hailing services as it restricted outdoor movements, pushing the company to focus on its delivery business.
GoPuff, which recently acquired liquor store chain BevMo!, delivers items such as food, alcohol and medicines in more than 650 U.S. cities.
