Waitrose has partnered with Deliveroo for rapid delivery service that brings groceries to customers’ doors in as little as ten minutes.
Shoppers will be able to use the Deliveroo app to choose from more than 1,000 Waitrose lines. Ready meals, free-from and vegan ranges, prepared fruit and vegetables, meat and fish, snacks and store cupboard staples will all be available, as well as wine, champagne, flowers and seasonal foods.
The trial builds on Waitrose’s existing partnership with Deliveroo, which delivers food from 150 Waitrose shops across the UK in as little as 20 minutes. The existing partnership between Deliveroo and Waitrose itself began as a trial back in 2020, before scaling to its current national footprint.
James Bailey, Executive Director, Waitrose said:
“It’s important that we continue to evolve along with shopping behaviour to give our customers more options for how and when they want to shop with us. Deliveroo has given us more flexibility in meeting customers’ needs and expanding our successful partnership to trial ‘Hop’ gives us an exciting opportunity to introduce more new customers to the excellent food and drink we offer.”
Carlo Mocci, Chief Business Officer UK&I, Deliveroo said:
“We are pleased to announce that Waitrose will trial Deliveroo Hop, our new rapid grocery service. Deliveroo Hop complements our existing on-demand grocery service and will build on our successful partnership with Waitrose, improving the consumer experience and bringing a wide range of groceries and household products to consumers’ doors in as little as 10 minutes.”
