Co-op and Just Eat team-up to launch nationwide UK partnership
Initially rolling-out to 50 stores early next year, the service is expected to grow to over 1,000 Co-op stores by Spring next year, 2023. Through the tie-up, shoppers will be able to order items from Co-op for speedy delivery in as little as under 30 minutes via the Just Eat app and website.
With thousands of products available to choose from, customers can order anything from bread and milk to meals and treats for evenings at home and, store cupboard essentials. Items are picked fresh from local Co-op stores, and delivered quickly and conveniently in the community.
Shoppers will also have access to household name brands, offers and promotions and, Co-op’s award-winning, ethically sourced quality own-brand products. Just Eat will then take care of the delivery, through its growing network of couriers across the UK.
Chris Conway, eCommerce Director, Co-op, said: “Co-op stores are well placed in the heart of local communities to provide quick, easy and convenient home deliveries – whether a full shop or last-minute top-ups. We are committed to exploring new and innovative ways to increase access to our products and services and, with our members and customers leading busy lives, ease, speed and convenience is a cornerstone of our approach.
“We're thrilled to announce our partnership with Just Eat, a move which will enable Co-op to ‘deliver’ further flexible options online with increased choice and availability in our communities, however, whenever and wherever our members and customers choose to shop with us.”
Amy Heather, Strategic Accounts Director, Just Eat UK, said: “We’re excited to launch our partnership with Co-op to offer convenience grocery from their stores to customers across the UK. The partnership will bring our customers access to a wide range of fantastic Co-op products delivered to their home within minutes. This partnership is another example of Just Eat’s commitment to grocery in the UK and we know that Co-op will be a popular addition for our customers.”
Co-op utilises the strategic advantage of its store footprint located in the heart of communities which act as micro-distribution hubs - with products picked fresh in the local store and delivered quickly and conveniently in the community.
"Co-op has rolled out its 'quick convenience' offer at pace, through its own online shop - shop.coop.co.uk - and with partners. In addition to Just Eat, this includes: Deliveroo, where Co-op is the most widely available supermarket on the Deliveroo app; Uber Eats, Amazon Prime and, Starship Technologies - where autonomous robot deliveries most recentlt expanded into Cambridge and Leeds after previously operating successfully in Milton Keynes, Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire.
