The Southern Co-op has today (18 December) launched a partnership with Deliveroo across 139 stores, bringing its much-loved products direct to doors across the South of England, as on-demand grocery services continue to prove popular with busy Brits.
Customers within a 2km radius of the participating Southern Co-op stores - including Guildford, Wimbledon, and Winchester - will be able to choose from up to 6,500 lines, from everyday essentials through to specially selected locally sourced brands unique to each store.
Once customers place an order through the Deliveroo app, products are picked and packed before being delivered in as little as 20 minutes.
The partnership has been introduced in line with the growing popularity of on-demand groceries from consumers, whether they’re looking for convenient solutions to fit into their busy lives, unable to easily access stores in person or need a quick fix.
Simon Eastwood, COO at Southern Co-op, said: “We pride ourselves on listening to our members and customers in the local communities we serve, and this is our next step in giving them more, direct to their door.
“This partnership makes it easier than ever for people across the South of England to access our products, including those who may not be able to physically visit a store or families who are juggling busy schedules.
“With the preference for on-demand groceries showing no signs of slowing down, we’re pleased to give our customers more choice in how they want to shop with us and look forward to expanding this in the near future with six more stores due to join the partnership in due course.”
Suzy McClintock, at Deliveroo, added: “We’re delighted to welcome Southern Co-op to Deliveroo. This significant partnership dramatically expands choice for our grocery customers across the South of England. We know that more than ever our customers value speed and convenience, and this partnership gives them access to groceries delivered straight to their door in as little as 20 minutes.”
