DICK’S Sporting Goods and Golf Galaxy connect with Uber Eats for on-demand delivery push

Uber Technologies and DICK’S Sporting Goods have announced a new partnership that brings the retailer’s selection of sporting goods, athletic apparel, footwear, team sports gear, golf equipment, fan merchandise and more to the Uber Eats platform.

With over 800 DICK’S Sporting Goods and Golf Galaxy locations across the US available on Uber Eats beginning this week, customers can take advantage of on-demand or scheduled delivery.

“We believe that speed and convenience is key to our omnichannel experience, and we’re excited to launch our partnership with Uber Eats as an extension of that philosophy,” says Scott Casciato, VP of Omni-channel Fulfillment & Strategy at DICK’S Sporting Goods. “When those moments arise where new gear is needed, this partnership with Uber Eats extends our capabilities to give our athletes convenient shopping to get the products they need fast and in a way that is convenient for them”

“As people head outdoors this season, we’re excited to bring DICK’S Sporting Goods’ trusted selection right to their doorstep via the Uber Eats app. From last minute yoga mats to hiking gear and backyard sports essentials, it’s all just a tap away,” says Hashim Amin, Head of Retail for North America.

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

On demand delivery will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards, which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
