Asda claims UK Click and Collect first

Asda has launched a Click & Collect service that allows shoppers to pick up their online orders in under an hour.

The Express Click and Collect offering will be rolled out over the coming months following a trial last year at stores in Killingbeck and Middleton. It costs £3 per order, with no minimum or maximum order value.

Asda says that the option, which it labels “a first for a UK supermarket”, is aimed at shoppers who forget an essential item after the big shop or need last minute dinner ingredients”.

Looking to the future of retail tech

Last week we reported that Asda’s concept technology store in Stevenage was testing out the likes of 3D holograms and electronic shelf labels. Further details here.
