ICYMI: McDonald’s Expands Delivery Service In Tampa Bay Area

LAND O’ LAKES, FL — More Tampa Bay area McDonald’s lovers can get their Big Mac and fry fixes without leaving the comfort of their own homes. The restaurant chain has announced a doubling of locations in the region that offer McDelivery service powered by UberEATS.

The partnership between McDonald’s and UberEATS launched as a pilot in the Tampa Bay area in January with 30 locations participating. On Wednesday, McDonald’s announced the expansion to 36 new stores, including 14 McDelivery locations in Pasco County.

The 66 participating locations are in Pinellas, Hillsborough and Pasco counties at this time, according to a media release from McDonald's. Zip codes now served include those for Land O’ Lakes, Lutz, New Port Richey, Port Richey, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Riverview and others.

Customers who live or work in the areas served by the 66 locations can use the UberEATS mobile app to place their orders or go online to UberEATS.com. The full menu of items offered at participating stores is available for delivery with the exception of soft serve ice cream cones. UberEATS also says that McPick 2 and other promotional pricing offers may be excluded from delivery. Standard UberEATS booking fees do apply to each order, as well.

“We're thrilled to partner with McDonald's to give fans in Florida easy access to their McDonald’s favorites at the tap of a button," Peter Hsu, UberEATS Florida general manager, said earlier this year. “People in Florida search for McDonald's in the UberEATS app almost daily, so we're excited to expand our reach and deliver what they've been craving."

Folks who place McDonald’s orders through UberEATS can track their orders using the same account they use for standard Uber rides or other UberEATS orders.
