Cats and dogs rejoice! Jollyes Pets announces launch of rapid delivery trial with Uber Eats across 13 stores

Jollyes Pets has launched an exclusive trial with Uber Eats. Zoomies is launching across 13 trial stores and will offer rapid delivery via Uber.

Over 2,000 lines are available for customers.

CEO Joe Wykes says: “We’re so excited to launch our trial with Uber Eats and become their first national pet partner. The new service will allow us to reach more shoppers than ever before, more quickly than we ever have.”

Just for Pets

At the tail end of last year, Just Eat launched the first pet brand on its platform with Just for Pets.

Ellie Starr, Head of Strategic Partnerships at Just Eat, said: “A huge step forward to give our customers even better choice and convenience. Whether you desperately need a new toy to distract your pup (been there!) or to stock up on daily essentials you can now get your pet products delivered in as little as 30 minutes.”

People are able to order thousands of their favourite pet products straight to their door - including dry, wet and frozen raw food for dogs and cats, as well as treats, grooming products and toys.

The news followed research commissioned by Just Eat, which found that three in four people who have ordered on-demand groceries in the past believe it will become a part of their daily lives.

The study of 4,000 European customers identified eight key moments which drive grocery and retail orders on the app - examples included staple stop ups, gift giving and emergency care packages for loved ones.

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

Rapid delivery will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards. which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
