Canadians can now have beauty, wellness and everyday essentials from Shoppers Drug Mart delivered directly to their doors, thanks to a new national partnership with Skip.
The agreement between Skip, a Canadian delivery platform, and Shoppers Drug Mart was announced on Wednesday. The service will be available through 650 Shoppers Drug Mart stores across nine provinces, including British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador.
“Canadians have relied on Shoppers Drug Mart® for generations, and we’re proud to make their much-loved product selection even more accessible through Skip,” said Paul Sudarsan, senior vice-president of partnerships at Skip.
According to the companies, the collaboration marks a significant expansion of Skip’s retail offerings, enabling customers to order products ranging from pharmacy essentials to beauty and skincare items.
“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, vice-president of e-commerce at Shoppers Drug Mart.
To promote the launch, Skip is offering a limited-time promotion of $20 off orders of $35 or more, using the code SHOPPERS20, valid through Oct. 6.
The partnership also includes a promotional event, the “Grab N’ Glow” pop-up, taking place in downtown Toronto on Sept. 27 and 28 at STACKT Market (28 Bathurst Street). The event will feature professional makeup touch-ups, customized cosmetic bags, vouchers, and product giveaways from brands such as Clarins, e.l.f. Cosmetics, and L’Oréal. The event will be: Saturday, Sept. 27: 12 PM – 8 PM; Sunday, Sept. 28: 12 PM – 7 PM.
Skip began as a Prairie-based start-up in 2012 and has grown into a national delivery network operating in over 450 cities and towns across Canada. Shoppers Drug Mart, a division of Loblaw Companies Ltd., operates more than 1,350 locations across the country.
