Wine.com expands pickup services to Walgreens, Albertsons banners

Wine.com has announced plans to not only expand the number of locations where consumers can pick up their order after placing it, but also to include many of the nation’s leading retailers in this new venture.

The California-based company has tripled its number of locations to more than 10,000 across the nation, including 1,000 locations in California and more than 500 in New York that are already established. The new sites expand beyond the already available FedEx Office locations to now include Walgreens, Duane Reade, Safeway, Shaws, Jewel-Osco, Albertsons, Fred Meyer and more.

“Customers love our massive selection, deep wine content, live chat sommeliers and free shipping membership,” Rich Bergsund, Wine.com CEO, said.  “Now we’ll deliver to a location near you, for pickup on your schedule — no more waiting to sign for your wine delivery. I use Wine.com local pickup for all my wine deliveries.”

The company said that this new service will take out the inconvenience of waiting for a delivery, seeing as someone who is 21 years old or older must be the one to sign for the package. Most pickup sites will be open nights and weekends, with some offering 24/7 availability, Wine.com said. Hours and nearest locations can be found on Wine.com’s website.
