Both Deliveroo and Aldi have joined forces to pilot a grocery home delivery service in the UK. Aldi will initially offer the rapid fulfilment option from its store in Nottingham. However it plans to extend the trial to a further seven stores across the East Midlands next month and is eyeing a further rollout by the end of 2020.
Users of Deliveroo will be able to select from more than one hundred and fifty Aldi products, which includes household favourites such as; milk, bread, fruit and vegetables – all of which will be picked by the grocer’s staff in stores.
Deliveroo’s network of riders will then deliver the items to customers’ homes in as little as 30 minutes. Aldi stated that the service will allow shoppers ‘greater flexibity’ and will also help in supporting those who are currently self-isolating at home, during the coronavirus pandemic.
