East of England Co-op expands Snappy Shopper on demand delivery service to 43 of its stores across the region

The East of England Co-op has expanded its Snappy Shopper on demand delivery service to 43 stores across the region. This builds on growth in January, when the offering increased from five to fifteen locations.

Orders placed through Snappy Shopper are fulfilled in partnership with Nash, which coordinates deliveries using courier partners including Uber Direct, Just Eat Go and Stuart. The move also introduces a more streamlined in-store setup, allowing colleagues to manage multiple delivery platforms through a single device.

Chief Commercial Officer, Simon Dryell, says: “We’re excited to expand Snappy Shopper to a further 28 stores, taking the total to 43 across our region. Convenience is a key focus for us, and this rollout means more customers can access quick, reliable grocery delivery from their local East of England Co-op Food store.”

“We’d like to thank our partners at Nash and Snappy Shopper for their continued support in helping us deliver a great service for our members and customers.”

Mike Callachan, CEO at Snappy Shopper, says: “East of England Co-op has been a fantastic partner for Snappy Shopper and the results delivered so far have shown the strong demand for convenient, locally fulfilled grocery delivery across the region. Expanding to 43 stores is a significant milestone in the partnership and reflects the continued appetite from retailers to invest in scalable convenience solutions that support both customer growth and basket spend.”

Patrick Eve, Head of UK at Nash, says: “East of England Co-op’s commitment to its members is exactly the partnership Nash was built for. East of England Co-op has shown what modern grocery delivery at scale can look like, with every order coordinated in real time across multiple courier partners. Nash is proud to be the orchestration layer behind growth, helping the East of England Co-op serve communities across East Anglia.”

2026 RTIH Innovation Awards

On demand delivery will be a key focus area at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards are now open for entries and celebrate global retail technology innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our winners will be revealed at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards Ceremony, taking place at The HAC in Central London on Wednesday, 4th November.

Check out our 2025 winners here.

Our 2025 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The HAC on 16th October and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award winning comedian, actress and writer Tiff Stevenson.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “This is the awards’ fifth year as a physical event. We started off with just 30 people at the South Place Hotel not far from here, then moved to London Bridge Hotel, then The Barbican, and last year RIBA’s HQ in the West End.”

“But I’m conscious of the fact that, to quote the legend that is Taylor Swift, You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby. So, this year we’ve moved to our biggest venue yet, and also pulled in our largest number of entries to date and broken attendance records.”

He added: “This year’s submissions have without doubt been our best yet. To quote one of the judges: The examples of innovative developments across both traditional and digital retail spaces were truly remarkable.”

Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Tiff Stevenson, and all those who attended our 2025 gathering.
