Aldi trials click and collect service
Aldi is trialling its first click-and-collect service in the UK.
The pilot is currently being run for Aldi staff working from a store in the Midlands. If successful, it will be extended to customers and other stores in the coming weeks.
Staff taking part in the trial are able to choose from a full range of grocery items online, then drive to their local store where they can have their shopping brought to their cars contact-free by store colleagues. If extended to the public, the service will offer customers timeslots to arrive at dedicated click-and-collect points in store car parks.
Giles Hurley, chief executive of Aldi UK and Ireland, said: “We know that more and more people want to access the high-quality, affordable food they know they can get at Aldi. This is yet another way we are innovating to make sure we best serve our existing customers and make Aldi’s great products and unbeatable prices available to even more people.”
Aldi is also piloting a rapid delivery service across stores in the East Midlands, London, Cambridge and Greater Manchester in partnership with Deliveroo. The service enables customers to order from a range of more than 300 Aldi products and have them delivered to their doorstep in as little as 30 minutes.
