Co-op will offer “quick-convenience” from 1000 of its stores, following a partnership with Uber Eats.
The Manchester retailer is seeking to expand its on-demand online home delivery service and has long term agreements with companies including autonomous tech firm, Starship.
This latest deal will mean customers can use the Uber Eats app and have groceries delivered in 30 minutes.
“We are committed to offering quality and value with Co-op’s ease, speed and convenience,” said Chris Conway, Co-op’s eCommerce Director.
“As a convenience retailer, we know the ability to pop into a local Co-op will always be important to customers, but we also know that fast and flexible options online are important to shoppers too – and so by using our stores located in the heart of communities to provide rapid home deliveries, we can meet customer needs and make shopping easier, however, wherever and whenever our Members and customers choose to shop with us.”
Alex Troughton, Head of Commerce at Uber Eats UK added:
“We are delighted to be partnering with Co-op, one of the most popular grocery retailers in the UK. Our mission is to be the platform of choice across the UK, and with this partnership, more customers will be able to order all their grocery needs at the touch of the button.”
The Co-op has ambitions to increase its online business to £300m this year.
