Aldi has announced it is expanding its on-demand delivery trial with Deliveroo to 130 stores across the UK, with the service set to now be available in Scotland and Wales.
Last month, the supermarket chain confirmed it had expanded the trial to 42 stores, including sites in Bristol and Liverpool.
Customers will be able to order groceries within 6km from participating Aldi stores, with orders being placed through the Deliveroo app.
Richard Thornton, communications director at Aldi UK, said: “We’re finding customers really value having more ways to shop at Aldi, particularly at the moment.
“That’s why we’ve been keen to extend our trial with Deliveroo to stores in more new areas, and plan to launch our trial of click and collect in more than 200 additional stores between now and Christmas.”
He added: “In the past month, we have made the Deliveroo service available in new areas such as Cardiff and Aberdeen, and will continue to monitor feedback of the service closely.”
Ajay Lakhwani, vice president of New Business at Deliveroo said: “We are delighted that Aldi’s trial with Deliveroo will expand to 130 stores. Deliveroo’s on-demand grocery partnerships have proven vital for so many people during this difficult period, allowing families to get the food and household items they need and want quickly.
“The fast expansion and success of this trial reflects the strong customer desire for groceries on-demand, an area in which Deliveroo is providing increasing choice. We are excited that even more customers across the country can now enjoy Aldi’s great quality food.”
