The discount supermarket is set to double the size of its trial of on-demand grocery deliveries with Deliveroo this week.
The trial, which has been ongoing out of 20 stores across London, Greater Manchester, Cambridge and the Midlands since early summer, is now being extended to a further 22 stores across the UK.The latest move will bring the trial to even more towns and cities across England, including Bristol, Liverpool and Brighton. Once orders are placed through the Deliveroo app, products are picked and packed by Aldi colleagues before being delivered by Deliveroo’s network of riders in as little as 30 minutes.
Richard Thornton, Communications Director at Aldi UK, said: “The feedback on our trial with Deliveroo has been very positive so far, with customers really valuing being able to have more ways of getting Aldi’s quality food at unbeatable prices, as recently recognised by Which? who found a basket of items was 23% cheaper at Aldi than at Tesco.”
Ajay Lakhwani, Vice President of New Business, Deliveroo said: “We are delighted that Aldi’s trial with Deliveroo will double in size this week. Deliveroo’s on-demand grocery partnerships have proven vital for so many people during this difficult period, allowing families to get the food and household items they need and want quickly.”
If this partnership continues to prove successful, the Deliveroo service could be extended to further UK locations in the coming weeks.
