Aldi doubles size of Deliveroo trial
Aldi is extending its trial of a grocery delivery service with Deliveroo into 11 further stores.
This includes five more shops in London and some stores in Greater Manchester and Cambridge.
The move has more than doubled the number of stores offering the service since its launch in eight stores in Nottinghamshire in May and the retailer’s Camden shop in June.
Customers using the service can choose from around 200 essential Aldi grocery items online, then have their shopping delivered to their door in as little as 30 minutes.
Richard Thornton, communications director at Aldi UK, said: “Even as many lockdown restrictions are lifted, we’re aware that there are still many people who are shielding and would like to shop at Aldi but can’t.
“In extending this trial further, we are making it even easier for thousands more people in different parts of the country to get hold of great quality food at Aldi’s unbeatable prices.”
The latest stores to join the trial are in Kilburn, Tottenham, North Finchley and Histon Road in Cambridge. Stores in Manchester Ancoats, Manchester Arndale, Didsbury, Trafford, Altrincham, Balham and Archway will join on 20 July.
If successful, the service could be rolled out across more UK stores before the end of the year.
