This new partnership will utilize Fanatics' vast warehouse and distribution center footprint to fulfill customers' orders with local next-day delivery enabled by Roadie. Fanatics' industry-leading licensed sports merchandise assortment, with options for all members of the family, features teams and players from hundreds of the top leagues and sports and entertainment properties including the NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, WWE, NCAA and more.

"It's all about giving Fanatics' customers choices. The combined cutting-edge tech and distribution capabilities of Roadie and Fanatics will now create a local next-day delivery option for fans that are craving their gear on a moment's notice," said Marc Gorlin, Roadie's founder and CEO.

"Ultimately, this partnership with Fanatics is ushering in a new era in the delivery and logistics industry. They call it a 'supply chain' because there are so many links in an item's journey from manufacturing to the customer. We're eliminating 2-3 links in that chain by enabling Fanatics to deliver directly from distribution centers to their end customers," said Gorlin.

"We place a continued emphasis on optimizing the fan experience, and this latest partnership with Roadie directly contributes to achieving that ultimate goal."

Local next-day delivery with Roadie is currently available on select products to Fanatics customers in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Las Vegas, St. Louis, and Jacksonville, with more cities being added in the future.
