Aldi UK accelerates Deliveroo delivery trial

Aldi UK has expanded its home delivery trial with Deliveroo to nearly 130 stores.

Last month, it extended this to a total of 42 stores across the UK, including entering new cities such as Bristol, Liverpool and Brighton.

The trial has now been rolled out to a nearly 90 additional locations in the past month, and is available to customers living near select stores in both Scotland and Wales.

This year, for the first time, our Kevin range will also be available via Deliveroo from 6th December onwards, if you live near a store that’s part of the trial. To find out if Deliveroo is available near you please visit https://t.co/bqSP2EE8vG - Steph

Those within a 6km radius of the participating stores will be able to choose from around 400 essential Aldi grocery items.

Once orders are placed through the Deliveroo app, products are picked and packed by Aldi colleagues before being delivered by Deliveroo’s network of riders.

Richard Thornton, Communications Director at Aldi UK, says: “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. We will continue to monitor feedback of the service closely.”
