AMZN 1.04% is adding another option for customers to get packages from the online retailer: picking them up at Rite RAD 3.80% Aid drugstores.
The deal is Amazon’s latest effort to expand last-mile delivery options and to work with traditional bricks-and-mortar retailers that have long been seen as its foes. Rite Aid, among the chains that have been stung by competition from Amazon, now finds itself in a position to benefit from the site’s efforts to broaden the way it gets packages into the hands of consumers, including placing lockers inside apartment complexes and turning cars into personal drop-off points.
“We designed this program to be used by partners that are large and small,” said Patrick Supanc, director of Amazon Hub, which includes the counter and locker programs. “You’ll see this network continue to expand.”
