Uber Eats has teamed up with Co-op to offer on-demand online home delivery service in 1,000 of its stores.
The phased roll-out will begin this week, with a goal of completion by the end of the year.
Through the partnership, customers can use the Uber Eats app to choose from over 6,000 products stocked in local Co-op stores delivered in as little as 30 minutes, with the convenience retailer using the physical footprint of its existing store estate for deliveries.
Products available via Uber Eats include Co-op’s own brand and Irresistible range - with all Co-op’s meat 100% British including in its ready meals and sandwiches.
Chris Conway, Co-op’s ecommerce director, said: “We are committed to offering quality and value with Co-op’s ease, speed and convenience. 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. So whether you are in need of some dinner inspiration or looking to do the weekly shop, Uber Eats and Co-op have got you covered.”
