Tempe Marketplace and Vestar are thrilled to announce it has officially partnered with Waymo, the Valley’s autonomous vehicle technology company. With the determination to continually enhance the guest experience, this collaboration allows Vestar to provide brand-new, innovative opportunities to shoppers and visitors of the popular Tempe destination.
In addition to the new partnership, Tempe Marketplace is also delighted to announce it has officially relaunched ASU Steals & Deals for students in the area.
Waymo, an autonomous vehicle pioneer, has worked since 2009 to develop its technology and aims to be the world’s most trusted driver. Waymo’s mission began with a commitment to holding safety to a higher standard. This new way of ride-hailing offers a more sustainable and efficient mode of transportation and allows all riders to feel secure and safe with each trip, according to the company.
Beginning this month, Tempe Marketplace is teaming up with Waymo to offer all visitors of the popular shopping destination exclusive ride-share discount as part of the ASU Steals & Deals program. ASU students are encouraged to take a Waymo to Tempe Marketplace; those who ride will receive 25% off their first ride. Further, into the fall season, guests can prepare for opportunities to receive on-site promo codes from Waymo, free ride giveaways, free lunches at Tempe Marketplace, and more.
Tempe Marketplace kicked off the Waymo partnership by offering one lucky ASU student an opportunity to win a $1,000 dorm room glow up. The team provided the student with a free round-trip Waymo ride to Tempe Marketplace and a $1,000 shopping spree and lunch at the shopping district.
To round out the relaunch of ASU Steals & Deals, Tempe Marketplace will also offer a variety of deals throughout the entire school year from over 30 retailers.
Tempe Marketplace is located at 2000 E Rio Salado Parkway in Tempe. For more information, visit tempemarketplace.com.
