Uber has launched a 15-minute delivery service in Paris, named Carrefour Sprint, in collaboration with Carrefour and French startup Cajoo. This service, available on the Uber Eats app, uses dark stores – dedicated small warehouses for quick order preparation. This move aims to cater to the fast-paced lifestyle of Parisians, though its necessity is subject to personal preference.

Dark stores are basically Amazon fulfillment centers. This gives gig workers more delivery opportunities and consumers faster service. Smart move partnering with Carrefour to tap into local infrastructure.

This expansion of Uber's delivery offerings came right after acquiring Drizly for alcohol delivery, showing how aggressively Uber was building out its delivery ecosystem beyond just food.
