Supermarket chain Co-op has become the first UK grocer to partner with Deliveroo Express, rolling out the delivery platform’s new white label logistics solution to provide quick and convenient online deliveries.
Using Deliveroo’s back-end tech infrastructure and extensive rider network to fulfil orders from hundreds of Co-op sites nationwide, customers will be able to order items and have them delivered in as little as 60 minutes, according to Deliveroo.
Suzy McClintock, VP of new verticals at Deliveroo, said, “We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with Co-op as they adopt our white label delivery solution, supporting fast and reliable on-demand deliveries through their existing website.
“Deliveroo Express is the next step in our mission to transform on-demand delivery, ensuring we remain the partner for growth, for grocers and retailers alike, helping them reach more consumers through their own online channels.”
Co-op was Deliveroo’s first major grocery partner when it launched its grocery business in 2018. Most recently, Deliveroo launched Co-op’s membership benefits on the app, enabling Co-op members to benefit from member price savings on their orders through Deliveroo.
Chris Conway, Co-op quick commerce director, commented, “Growing our quick commerce channel is a core part of our strategic approach, and I am delighted to build on our long-standing and successful partnership with Deliveroo.
“Working together we are focused on meeting the evolving needs of shoppers. This includes making the fast and reliable delivery of Co-op groceries available to more communities and creating value through member price savings as we see consumer appetite for quick and convenient grocery delivery from their local Co-op continue to grow.”
