New change for Shoppers Drug Mart customers in Canada

A new change has been announced for Shoppers Drug Mart customers in Canada.

The delivery company Skip said it has partnered with the pharmacy retailer, “ushering in a new era of convenience for Canadians.”

“From skincare must-haves for beauty lovers to cold and flu season healthcare essentials, customers can now get their favourite Shoppers Drug Mart items delivered straight to their door,” a news release from Skip said.

Skip now provides delivery from 650 Shoppers stores in Canada, across British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador.

To kick off the launch, Skip has a limited-time promotion of $20 off orders of $35 or more. It’s available through Oct. 6 with the code SHOPPERS20.

“Our partnership with Shoppers reflects Skip’s ongoing growth in the retail space, strengthening our network of partnerships with trusted Canadian brands and bringing convenience to more consumers nationwide,” said Paul Sudarsan, SVP of partnerships at Skip.

Earlier this year, Skip also partnered with Dollarama.

“This partnership allows us to extend our reach even further and extend our ‘need-it-now’ experience to ensure that Canadians can access beauty, wellness, and everyday essentials from Shoppers Drug Mart with speed and ease, right to their door,” said Sarah Draper, VP of e-commerce at Shoppers Drug Mart.

To mark the launch of the partnership, a pop-up event will be held at STACKT Market (28 Bathurst Street) in downtown Toronto on Saturday and Sunday.

There are more than 1,350 Shoppers Drug Mart and Pharmaprix stores in Canada.

Skip began in 2012 as a local start-up in the Prairies and has since expanded to more than 450 cities and towns.

The company said it has over 50,000 restaurant, grocery, convenience and retail partners.
