“We are excited to partner with national businesses like Rite Aid, and local businesses in the future, to create an outstanding experience for our shared customers.”
Counter is part of the Amazon Hub family, which includes Locker, Locker+ and Apartment Locker, designed to bring better convenience to customers through pick-up and return points.
