Tesco launches new service nationwide after initial trial in 147 stores
Tesco said the service gives millions more customers access to groceries in as little as 20 minutes, with Clubcard Prices and points included.
On Wednesday, September 23, Tesco launched nationwide grocery delivery through Deliveroo, making items available in as little as 20 minutes across 75 towns and cities.
The expansion follows a successful trial across 147 Tesco stores, building on momentum from the supermarket's Whoosh rapid delivery service, which saw sales increase 51% last year.
Ishna Berry, Rapid Delivery Director at Tesco, said the move gives customers "more flexibility than ever," offering access to Clubcard Prices and points on last-minute purchases.
Rob Harris, chief revenue officer at Deliveroo, said the firm is "delighted" to take the partnership nationwide, as customers value the speed and quality Tesco offers.
The Whoosh service currently reaches more than 70% of the population from around 1,800 stores, providing another avenue for rapid grocery shopping alongside the new Deliveroo option.
