Designer Brands Inc., the parent company of Designer Shoe Warehouse (DSW) has become the latest retailer to partner with Uber Eats, as of Sept. 17.
The partnership allows consumers to browse and purchase from DSW for on-demand or scheduled delivery. It adds same-day delivery through nearly 500 DSW stores in the United States, according to an announcement from the companies. DSW operates about 525 stores in the United States and Canada.
Designer Brands ranks 70th in the Top 2000 Database. The database catalogs North America’s largest online retailers by their annual ecommerce sales. In addition to DSW, Designer Brands owns Keds, Hush Puppies, Lucky Brand and more.
DSW partners with Uber Eats
The partnership puts a DSW storefront on the Uber Eats ecommerce platform. It also allows consumers to track the DSW orders they place through Uber Eats in real time.
Designer Brands joins a growing group of retail chain operators to partner with Uber Eats since June, including Best Buy, Dollar Tree, Sephora and Dick’s Sporting Goods.
Similarly, the retailers are part of a larger trend of partnering with Uber Eats, Instacart and DoorDash to add a fulfillment method for online shoppers to choose from. Partnering with the services has allowed the retailers to offer fast delivery without changing existing fulfillment operations.
Uber said its partnership with DSW reflects its “commitment to broadening its retail and lifestyle offerings.” IT also said “Uber Eats continues to evolve as a one-stop shop for on-demand convenience.”
“Style emergencies are real — and with DSW on Uber Eats, we’re making it easier than ever to look and feel your best, fast,” said Hashim Amin, head of retail for North America at Uber. “Whether you forgot your shoes for a weekend getaway or just spotted the perfect pair for a night out, DSW and Uber Eats have you covered.”
