business news in context, analysis with attitude

• CVS yesterday announced a partnership with e-commerce service provider Curbside, "to launch CVS Express, a digital solution offering consumers a new level of seamless convenience. CVS Health is also investing in Curbside, demonstrating the company's commitment to driving further innovations that will help customers save time and money while pursuing a healthier lifestyle ... With CVS Express, customers can make mobile, in-app purchases from their local CVS Pharmacy and have those products delivered directly to them when they pull up to the store, all in about one hour with no markups or added costs for convenience."

Currently available in Atlanta, San Francisco and Charlotte, NC, CVS Express will roll out to additional markets later this year. It is available for over-the-counter items, but not prescriptions.
