With Uber now in Winnipeg is Brandon next?

Uber has landed in Winnipeg.  The ride-sharing company launched in Winnipeg yesterday and will provide inexpensive ride service to customers in the city alongside some smaller Canadian players.   But will the popular ride service come to Brandon?  The short answer is yes.  And although we have zero confirmation that Brandon’s City Hall has even been approached by ridesharing services like Uber, what we can tell you is Uber is in serious negotiations with the big players the grocery store after a two-year project where they developed infrastructure to deliver everything from soup to nuts to your home.  Not just passengers.  And since Winnipeg signed up for Uber yesterday, they’ll be the first in the province to enjoy this new feature in the coming weeks.  But mark my words, with all the grocery delivery we have going on through COVID, digital grocery delivery by “perfect strangers and next-door neighbors” will be an option for consumers in the coming months.  And why not?  Skip the Dishes enjoys popularity in Brandon, almost unrivaled in other cities.  It will likely be the same for this kind of food (and passenger) delivery.  And a chance to make some extra cash in your spare time.
