Tesco and Gorillas take rapid grocery delivery tie up to Manchester
Tesco has extended its rapid grocery delivery partnership with Gorillas to Manchester.
Customers living near Tesco’s Stretford Extra store can now order from a large range of the retailer’s products in the Gorillas app, and get them delivered within 10 minutes.
The pair launched a pilot in October of last year
The first stores to be involved in the partnership were in Lewisham and Thornton Heath, London.
The aim is to establish “co-located physical warehouses” within a total of five Tesco stores.
“The idea that we can reach our customers in just 10 minutes is really exciting,” Tesco CEO Jason Tarry said last year.
“We are committed to being easily the most convenient choice for our customers, enabling them to shop whenever and however they want.”
“This pilot will help customers get their products right away, supporting those looking to buy food for tonight or last minute forgotten items. We look forward to hearing what our customers think.”
“The co-location partnership enables both brands to bring their strengths to the table and establish a quicker, higher quality, grocery offering to UK consumers,” said Adrian Frenzel, COO at Gorillas.
“Customers will not only be able to get the best of Tesco within minutes via Gorillas, but will be able to make the most of Tesco’s extraordinary quality range via our app.”
He adds: “We’re incredibly excited to be announcing this pioneering commercial and real estate partnership with Tesco.”
“We have established ourselves as a fast paced company at the forefront of the on demand grocery industry, whilst Tesco is the leading retailer in the UK and a trusted household name nationally.”
