Yeep! has partnered with Co-op in a move that will see its parcel lockers installed at 30 of the retailer’s stores, to bring added ease and convenience to communities.

With Co-op stores located in the heart of local communities, the new partnership is designed to meet the evolving needs of busy shoppers and the continued growth in consumer demand for safe, secure and convenient parcel lockers.

The first lockers to be trialled at Co-op stores will include locations in Bletchley, Wigan Road in Bolton, Bromyard and Kington in Herefordshire, Castle Douglas in Dumfries and Galloway, Edwinstowe, Stanton Hill and Selston in Nottinghamshire, Kidwelly in Carmarthenshire and Rainhill, with ambitions to grow the number of lockers during the year.

George Hayworth, head of quick commerce (Q Comm) development at Co-op, said: “The new lockers form part of Co-op’s approach to develop added services and enhanced convenience - creating a compelling customer offer to ensure our stores are a convenient destination not only for groceries but for a range of services that meet the needs of local communities.”
